Talk:Government Junta of Chile (1973)

Something seems to be missing in this sentence: "When General Pinochet took over as President, following a national plesbicite that approved a the new constitution." Vints 09:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I find Pinochet's posts a bit confusing. Was he president of the government junta 11 sep '73 - 27 june '74 (as the President of Chile article suggests) or until 11 march '81 (as the Augusto Pinochet article says)? And is "self-proclaimed President of Chile" correct? Vints 09:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. He was "President/Chairman of the Government Junta" from 11/09/73 to 27/06/74, when he was granted the title "Supreme Chief of the Nation". This title had very little precedent or use, and was changed to "President of Chile" at the end of 1974. All the while he continued being the President/Chairman of the Junta, until 11/03/81, when he was sworn as "Constitutional President of Chile", following the coming into effect of the new constitution of 1980, and its temporary articles, and he stopped being part of the Government Junta. As such he remained, constitutionally, until 11/03/90, when his term ended and he handed power to Patricio Aylwin. Mel Romero 01:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
