Frasi di Salvador Allende

Salvador Guillermo Allende Gossens è stato un politico cileno, primo Presidente marxista democraticamente eletto nelle Americhe e, secondo alcuni, al mondo.

Allende venne eletto il 4 settembre 1970 e fu Presidente del Cile dal 3 novembre 1970 fino alla destituzione violenta a seguito di un colpo di Stato militare appoggiato dagli Stati Uniti, avvenuta l'11 settembre 1973, giorno della sua morte.

Laureatosi in medicina all'Universidad de Chile, ne fu allontanato e venne inquisito per motivi politici alla fine degli studi. Nel 1933 partecipò alla fondazione del Partito Socialista del Cile. Successivamente eletto deputato del Parlamento cileno nel 1937; quindi nel 1943 venne scelto come segretario dei socialisti e ricoprì la carica di Ministro della Sanità e delle Politiche Sociali; infine nel 1945 divenne senatore e nel 1966 Presidente del Senato. Nel 1970 ottenne la vittoria elettorale, come candidato dichiaratamente marxista, oltre che socialista democratico, alla carica di Presidente della Repubblica del Cile, quindi presiedette un governo di coalizione tra socialisti, comunisti, radicali e cattolici di sinistra.

L'11 settembre 1973, un golpe organizzato dall'esercito causò la sua morte in circostanze drammatiche - probabilmente suicida - nel palazzo presidenziale a Santiago del Cile, portando al governo il generale Augusto Pinochet che instaurò una dittatura militare. I suoi sostenitori si riferiscono a lui come Compañero Presidente e alcuni lo annoverano tra i pochi rivoluzionari non violenti.

Salvador Allende: Frasi in inglese

“The people must defend themselves, but they must not sacrifice themselves.”

Final address (1973)
Contesto: The people must defend themselves, but they must not sacrifice themselves. The people must not let themselves be destroyed or riddled with bullets, but they cannot be humiliated either.
Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Keep in mind that, much sooner than later, great avenues will again be opened, through which will pass the free man, to construct a better society.
Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers!
These are my last words, and I am certain that my sacrifice will not be in vain, I am certain that, at the very least, it will be a moral lesson that will punish felony, cowardice, and treason.

“Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny.”

“For you to be a Communist or a Socialist is to be totalitarian; for me no.… On the contrary, I think Socialism frees man.”

Quoted in "Allende Sees Chile Finding Her Own Way to Socialism" by Joseph Novitski, in The New York Times (4 October 1970)
Contesto: We start from different ideological positions. For you to be a Communist or a Socialist is to be totalitarian; for me no.… On the contrary, I think Socialism frees man.

“Cuba came from a dictatorship, and I arrived at the presidency after being senator for 25 years.”

Interview with Saul Landau (1971)
Contesto: I have been to Cuba many times. I have spoken many times with Fidel Castro and got to know Commander Ernesto Guevara well enough. I know Cuba's leaders and their struggle. It has been difficult to overcome the blockade. But the reality in Cuba is very different from that in Chile. Cuba came from a dictatorship, and I arrived at the presidency after being senator for 25 years.

“I will always be next to you. At least my memory will be that of a man of dignity who was loyal to his country.”

Final address (1973)
Contesto: I address the youth, those who sang and gave us their joy and their spirit of struggle. I address the man of Chile, the worker, the farmer, the intellectual, those who will be persecuted, because in our country fascism has been already present for many hours — in terrorist attacks, blowing up the bridges, cutting the railroad tracks, destroying the oil and gas pipelines, in the face of the silence of those who had the obligation to act.
They were committed. History will judge them.
Surely, Radio Magallanes will be silenced, and the calm metal instrument of my voice will no longer reach you. It does not matter. You will continue hearing it. I will always be next to you. At least my memory will be that of a man of dignity who was loyal to his country.

“Surely, this will be the last opportunity for me to address you.”

Final address (1973)
Contesto: Surely, this will be the last opportunity for me to address you. The Air Force has bombed the antennas of Radio Magallanes. My words do not have bitterness but disappointment. … the only thing left for me is to say to workers: I am not going to resign!

“Placed in a historic transition, I will pay for loyalty to the people with my life.”

Final address (1973)
Contesto: Placed in a historic transition, I will pay for loyalty to the people with my life. And I say to them that I am certain that the seeds which we have planted in the good conscience of thousands and thousands of Chileans will not be shriveled forever. They have force and will be able to dominate us, but social processes can be arrested by neither crime nor force. History is ours, and people make history.

“I am not the president of all the Chileans. I am not a hypocrite that says so.”

Quoted by Chilean newspapers as a remark at a public rally (17 January 1971). Allende sent a public letter to El Mercurio newspaper to deny the quotation
