Abstract
In September 2013, 40 years have passed since the military coup in Chile that brought Augusto Pinochet to power. This event has been vividly present in the Chilean society until today and different views on it leaves a huge split in the society almost everyday: Had Pinochet saved the country from a civil war and an economic collapse? Is economic prosperity more important than human rights and democratic principles? How to treat the victims and the culprits who often meet in the same streets, the same restaurants and the same administrative buildings? Why was there a military coup in Chile in 1973? What was the everyday like under Pinochet's dictatorship? And how does the current society deals with his legacy across all generations? The broadcast brings a view from a historian, from a Chilean political prisoner and a young Chilean journalist.
