Responses to Chilean Coup

December 8, 1973 THERE has been a world-wide reaction to the military coup in Chile. From Indira Gandhi to Fidel Castro, from traditional communists to the new leftists, from heads of state to the man in the street, the reaction has been sharp and unmistakable. There has been a plethora of press statements, angry speeches, routine articles and some orderly street demonstrations, condemning the coup, the Chilean military junta, the American imperialists, the ITT and the "Chilean right reaction spearheaded by the fascist organisation, Patria y Libertad". There has indeed been a remarkable unity in condemnation of the coup among the various tendencies of the left centre and the left.
