Chilean election heads toward Friday vote in Chile
In Santiago, Chile, voters will choose a new president amid a tight race between Salvador Allende, backed by FRAP, and Christian Democrat Eduardo Frei. Allende advocates socialist reforms while Frei campaigns on social reforms and opposes rapid nationalization. The United States has invested heavily in Chile, with public aid and private ventures totaling billions since 1903, and major American firms control key Chilean industries. Allende’s link to Fidel Castro fuels debate as Alessandri’s stance on Cuba narrows the field.
