Salvador Allende Foundation

Fundación Salvador Allende is a Chilean foundation whose website presents the biography of Salvador Allende Gossens and publishes news about its own activities, including a joint educational minisite with FES Chile.

The official website of Fundación Salvador Allende presents the biography of Salvador Allende Gossens, describing him as the first President of a broad socialist and leftist movement, the Unidad Popular, to be elected by free votes in the world, on 4 September 1970 in Chile. It states that he was deeply democratic and understood politics as collective and hopeful action, and that during his government he deepened agrarian reform, carried out the nationalization of basic wealth, redistributed income, established control of monopolies, and fought child malnutrition, among many other works. It also states that a violent military coup ended the life of Salvador Allende and Chile's democracy on 11 September 1973, plunging the country into 17 long years of dictatorship. The site also publishes news about the foundation's activities, including that Fundación Salvador Allende and FES Chile launched a minisite inaugurating an Education Area.
