Join 3CR presenter Marisol (from 'Mujeres Latinamericanas') and guests for a special broadcast of 'Chile 53 years (1973-2026)', from 10am to 2pm on 12th of September.
This special commemoration radio program marks 53 years since the overthrow of the democratically elected popular government in Chile by a violent military coup backed by the United States administration on 11 September 1873, which killed President Salvador Allende and imposed a repressive government. That date changed Chile and meant the mass exile of thousands of Chileans alongside our history of resistance, struggle, and solidarity.
The Chilean people are still fighting for real democracy and better conditions of living, which have not improved even under successive so-called “democratic” governments. Today, in 2026, a far-right government is taking away all the rights won by workers. The United States again wants to steal Chile's natural resources and subjugate the people.
"We're going to talk about our history, remember those who have fallen, been murdered, and disappeared, and also about the struggles of our people, indigenous communities, workers, students, and women who still resist.
Our memory is alive… Our struggle continues."
