 I'd like to introduce to you Alejandro Salvador Fernández Allende, the grand son of Salvador Allende. Thank you very much for welcoming all of us to the great country, indeed this is a great country, it's a beautiful country, it's a mighty country, so thank you so much for welcoming. I have a speech here I'm going to read in Spanish because it's close to me, to my emotions, so I want that to show. Entre el curso, so this speech starts with part of the Cuban anthem, it is notemais una muerte gloriosa que morir por la parte de vivir. Hola, a las gracias a los de ustedes por estar aquí presentes en esta fecha tan importante para Chile, Latinoamérica y para la memoria histórica. Quiero también darles gracias a los organizadores de este evento, a Titian Federation, a los Unios, a Carisma Caliambra, las miembros del Parlamento que nos acompañan hoy, al embajador de Cuba Candidice, a Diegues, al embajador de Chile Jaime Chomali, al embajador de Venezuela, Daniel Gasparri, y a cada uno de ustedes. Quiero vertirle que algunos de los temas que moraré en este día son difíciles y lo haré con profundas del careza, humanidad y alturas de mirar. Mi nombre es Alejandro Fernández Allende, soy el hijo menor de Beatriz Allende y le juñe, cuyo nombre real es Rodolfo Gallagrago. Mis padres de esta enfermedad sintieron el llamado de la revolución en Latinoamérica y pusieron sus vidas al servicio de la humanidad. Les cuento que cuando ocurrió el golpe militar, mi madre estaba para la sala de Vinc, el día 11 de septiembre, Beatriz, la dirigió a la moneda para ayudar a repeler el ataque final al palacio presidencial. Fue el mismo Allende quien tuvo que expulsar la moneda a mi madre, a su hermana Isabel y a varios compañeros. Fue así como Allende en sus últimos minutos salvó nuestras vidas a través de su propio sacrificio. Siempre pienso en los momentos difíciles y finales de Salvador Allende, donde mi abuela era presidente, era mi padre, era marido, era gigante, era soldado, era máster y también era la república en llamas. Parte de mi familia saldó a Cuba a la asistencia de la Unión Soviética que envió sus naves a Chile, las cuales salvaron la vida de cientos de compatriotas. Yo nací dos meses después en el hospital, sagrado corazón de La Habana, mi madre Beatriz, inmediatamente asumí mucha responsabilidad en Cuba y por muchos tres años fue el líder de la resistencia acá en el exterior. Desafortunadamente Beatriz no pudo vivir con la pere normal que tenían y tomó la decisión de terminar con su vida el 11 de octubre de 1977. Yo tuyo que mi madre murió de forma simbólica el día del golpe y también una parte mía murió con ella el día de su partida en aquel fatíbico octubre. Los miembros de la familia Iemle, raras veces hablamos de trama de aquí a los años pero creo que es importante hablar del dolor, hablar de la pérdida y de estos temas porque el silencio es siempre dañivo. Quiero aprovechar y darle las gracias a la república de Cuba, a la república de Venezuela, a través de sus respectivos embajadores, pues ambas naciones recibieron miles de miles de refugiados chilenos argentinos y de muchos otros países durante los días más oscuros de nuestros continentes. Gracias a vuestra solidaridad y a vuestro trabajo humanitario, muchas vías fueron salvadas. Cuando venían llegando a Australia, Nueva Zelanda, cuando venían llegando a Australia de Oakland, me pregunté qué es lo que realmente significa el quebr institucional en Chile. El 11 de septiembre representa la ruptura, la herida, el duelo constante y, al final, abrupto de los sueños y esperaciones de millones de mujeres y hombres. Hoy somos una de las memorias y los anhelos de justicia. Sabemos que el 11 de septiembre el Ejército de Chile expresionó su mandato democrático atacando el Palacio de la Moneda que representa la esencia misma de la república. Hoy también quiero decirles que los cobares del Ejército de Chile en la residencia de Tomás Moro, donde se encontraba mi abuela, porque se use indefensa y protegida solamente por un puñado leal de con la espalda de compañeros del gato. Esta madera y una de sus últimas palabras le dice al pueblo y le dice al mundo. Colocado en este tal ciclo histórico, pagaré con mi vida la ley de estar pueblo y les digo que tengo certeza de la semilla que hemos entregado a la conciencia digna de miles y miles de chilenos que no podrán ser cegados definitivamente. Tienen la fuerza, podrán afrayarnos, pero no se detienen los procesos sociales ni con el crimen ni con la fuerza. La historia es nuestra y la hacen los pueblos. Es decir, que es decir, que van a ser asesinados. Muchos de los que estamos aquí, para muchos de los que estamos aquí, aún nos llegan los hecos de esos días donde la ciudad de Santiago estaba bajo el humo tóxico de las bombas y el río Mapocho arrastró los ojos y los cuerpos acribillados y mutualados de las primeras víctimas de la jauría sangriota militar. Hoy también recordamos al héroe de Miguel Enrique, a los hermanos Vergara, a Víctor Jara, al rodido Roja, a Carmen Gloria. En estas FMDs tenemos presente a los profesores de hoyados, a los desaparecidos, a los ejecutados políticos, a los torturados y a los exilviados y aquí nadie queda olvidado. Hoy también agradecemos a nuestros queridos amigos astroalianos que desde un principio hasta el presente nos han caminado junto con nosotros y nos han ofrecido su solidaridad. Quiero contarles que los pilares de Chile post-dictadura fueron construidos sobre la impuridad. Recuerdo que en esos años se hablaban de la justicia a la medida posible y esa justicia llegó para una minoría. En Chile hubo un chantaje por parte del ejército contra la sociedad civil para que la verdad y la justicia nunca vayan a la mujer día y esa es la guerra. Hoy nadie queda olvidado y somos uno en el vuelo, en la memoria, en la acerción y también en la esperanza. Pasando a un tema local me gustaría pedirle a cada uno de ustedes que sigan mencionando que los deteriorados estarían correspondientes para que el día en arriba sea tradicional a Chile lo antes posible y tenga que afrontar la justicia en Chile de la cual lo llevo cubáremente. No es posible que alguien culpable del crimen que encontra la humanidad hoy haya encontrado refugio en estas mismas caís que hoy caminamos. Hoy alguien le vive y le mirá por siempre. Hay alguien desquerido, recordado en todo el mundo porque quien muere por nosotros quien se sacrifica por los actos valores de la humanidad jamás conocerá la muerte. Me gustaría terminar estas palabras con un texto de su premio Nobel, Pablo Neruba, que fue también asesinado por la dictadura militar. Este escrito de Neruba es el paro final de sus memorias, confieso que he vivido, donde describe cuando mi abuela fue llevada por los meditares a aterrar el cuerpo ahí en vez que forma oculta. Dice Neruba, tenían que aprovechar una ocasión tan bella. Había que ametrallarlo porque jamás no se haría su cargo. Aquel cuerpo fue enterrado secretamente en un sitio cualquiera. Aquel cabaver que marchó en la sepultura acompañado por una sola mujer que llevaba a sí mismo todo otro mundo. Aquella gloriosa figura muerta iba acribillada y despensada por las vales de las ametralladoras de los soldados de Chile que una vez más había entraserado a Chile. Gloria tiene a Salvador Allende, Gloria tiene a Beatriz Allende, Gloria tiene a todos nuestros queridos. Muchas gracias. It's a pleasure to have you here in the U.S. World Parliament. Yes. Well, you're not allowed to record, but we're doing it anyway. Okay, I'm not going to tell them. No, we're here for those chickens. Thank you very much for joining us today, particularly this memorable occasion of 50 years since the coup, the U.S.-led coup. Tell us, are you living in New Zealand for how many years now? I've been in New Zealand at least 32 years. 22 years. I consider New Zealand like my second exile. Yes, second exile. Do you go back to Chile often? I go often to see my family. They are all of them in Santiago with COVID accords. I will go this November to see them. So I go quite often. How would you judge the understanding of the people of New Zealand and Australia about what happened? I mean, most of the people don't have a clue about what happened 50 years ago. You really need to talk to people who have an interest in history or, you know, in the universities, academics, but I mean, the folks that you talk on by day, they don't really know about what happened exactly in Metro America during the Cold War. So the people who are here today are Chileans. Yeah, they're Chileans, but there are also a lot of Aussies that have been supporting the Chilean's travel for many, many years. So there are a lot of friends and people from here that have been working together along with Chilean exile for decades. Tell me about the effort to try to declassify some documents that would show Australia helped so I didn't know that. But that surprised me because, I mean, if you go to Sydney Harbour, every time I go I see like warships everywhere and so test in America and it happened a lot of times and you see the news, the exercise so I'm sure and also what happened during the Vietnam War and who support what so I have no doubt in my heart that the Australian Government supported the CIA and Henry Kissinger to overthrow Salvador It's an alliance, basically. We don't know the details yet. That's what I say. I would love to obviously read that once it's available, but it won't be there. Well, as you say, Australia has its long history empire in their wars and now the American Empire Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and now joining AUKUS to put pressure on China It's why it's at least behavior, basically. It's extraordinary dangerous to Australia it doesn't help Australia's interest at all but it helps the US interest It's hard to understand that now New Zealand still has their non-nuclear policy but there's even a move in New Zealand now to maybe join AUKUS I don't have the pressure as well I'm from the United States and I can tell you that probably worse than here the percentage of people who understand not only what happened in Chile but all across the operation Condor, the entire brutal first stage of American post-war empire World War II really played out in Latin America by rehabilitating really Nazi ideas in many ways military dictations and you agreed that the United States this was an important part of their post-war empire what they did in Latin America and the people who survived Chile and Argentina Brazil and Uruguay all of these countries were really victims of American empire Correct, yes and we were victims and I grew up in Cuba as well so we had an empire and it was like really difficult and now Cuba is really struggling at this moment due to the post-war conversation and now the embargo so they are having a lot of difficulties in Cuba Now in the United States history is not very important except the mythology and the logical history of America its founding, its greatness, its democracy spreading democracy but as the Jimmy said that in the United States there is no truth in reconciliation commission there is no memory of what the United States government did even having the school of America in US territory in Georgia, I was about that and in Panama Canal Zone they ran it from there extraordinary though how important is it do you think for the American people to know the history of your country in all of Latin America is extremely important but American people are just not interested in history mostly as you said they really they know more people you speak to they don't really know it will be great, it will be really helpful if they care if they start showing interest about about the your politics of America in the Latin America in the rest of the world which is obviously imperialistic and now I believe it's an empire in decadence and that's what is happening I mean all these things that when they openly recognized the use of torture so that's totally moral decadence once you reach that level you can see that these people are going down as well I think we are going through dangerous times there is a lot of populism there is a lot of fake media propaganda and it kind of reminds me the first year of Hitler before he went into power but it's essentially it's possible that history repeat itself and it happened and it could happen and we need to be ready for that let me go back to why do you think American people are just interested in history in general particularly what happened in Latin America because they have no lack of natural curiosity or is it the media education it's pretty much the media it's pretty much you know selecting what people should be interested in but also it's your own if you want to really know what book you study etc and I'm not sure if people have time for that that's every time I talk to people who are in America they always think so basic and they the economy is not good so they have two three jobs and then really they talk about their life but I think intuitive me that there is ideological component from the people who obviously the mass media entertainment industry and all of that that just really people who don't think about their own reality about others our empathy what happened I don't know in Russia and the Philippines in Vietnam all of that I'm going to talk to you about the possibility of military dictatorship or maybe in a different form a dictatorship in Latin America again throughout and I just traveled this year to Ecuador, Mexico Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay Argentina and so on and all those many of those countries have memory museums like Esmael and Buenos Aires and I went to the one in Paraguay as well who had the longest dictator I think Estrosna so given that the people in Latin America have a memory of what happened how will that work to prevent the return of a kind of dictatorship like that whereas in the United States they don't have this memory yeah exactly so I think it's very important to do this that we're doing today to raise our voices to talk to gradually have these so populism and fascism is a game back not just in Latin America but in all parts of the world and if you see what happening now with this new candidate from Argentina who he's a mad man a Trump look like a pretty decent guy in comparison with him he looks like a demon with his sister isn't he there was a cousin the candidate he's a young guy he looks a little crazy he's absolutely I don't know many you know but he has a chance to become Argentina's president and Argentina is suffering so all this disaster post COVID inflation is creating a perfect storm in Latin America for people for just fashion to potentially get organized and make a comeback and they have the press the media and they have the resources they would need the United States support they always need it but I'm not exactly sure what's the policy right now of the United States with Latin America obviously with Cuba it changed with Obama I went to Cuba at that time and it was all this hope and now with Trump we went back to square zero and people like you are suffering even worse right now they're suffering even worse after the collapse of the Soviet Union so there is a lot of problems and the United States we like it or not it's important we need to know what they're doing because they're dangerous they don't want any popular movement particularly left-wing popular movement in Latin America so whether this kind of fascism could return would be dependent on the memory of the Latin American people and the ignorance of the North American people there would be resistance in Latin America wouldn't there but not from the North American population to the US support I think that would take generations I made a few Americans you know social leaders really really incredible people I remember this woman that she used to make the documentaries she's American in Cuba and she used to really really really prepare people I'm sure there will be people in America that are organized but they are a minority so but we need a lot more people interested in all of this so we can basically be an effective resistance about what happened about the potential of fascism there's also growing censorship online it didn't exist 50 years ago social media being suppressed if a opinion that goes against US narrative official narrative comes up there was a woman Adriana Rios, her name is tell me about her Adriana, we're talking about the woman who's been walking the streets of Sydney so I think she's detained at the moment sorry she she was the secretary of Manuel Contreras one of the worst human being that you can find he's a monster he was known for his cruelty, he was in torture and he did the most horrific crime that you could imagine but this woman was not only a secretary she also partake in torture and we know that she's been prosecuted in Chile she was sentenced in Chile she escaped from justice so basically what we have here is someone that is guilty of crimes in his humanity working in this same street and she's taking all the step that disappears and the people in Chile have an opportunity to go to the judiciary system and she has a source all of that none of the people that she tortured they had no opportunity so she has given that I think it's outrageous and I have a stress in this trip that people keep talking to the police until we get rid of her and we deport her to go back to Chile to face justice does Chile and Australia have a tradition treaty I am no aware of that but I'm pretty sure that she will be you say she's detained right now I was told that she was detained I don't know that 100% but I was told by people that really know about the case lawyers that she's actually detained would you like to meet someone like this face to face to talk to her I have nothing to talk to her because I don't want to talk to a soldier called criminal for example what about the grand children of Pinochet I have a really really good story when the 40th anniversary of the coup d'etat I was talking about 10 years ago I went to Chile and then they invited me to a TV show and then when I was there you were going to talk it's you and him one of his grand sons I said okay bring it around you know it was a national TV and then all of a sudden I was sitting there there were like two people one from the left and one from the right to get an equilibrium and all of a sudden the woman the presenter said he didn't call so so we had a dressing program without him and I said no because I didn't have any I mean I don't have nothing I think he probably is a victim of his own family I have no grudge with him and I wish him well but I didn't really want to talk to a family to be honest but you were ready to what's going to talk to him what do you think about Margaret Datcher she was she was she was very awful especially to Achilles I have really I don't give too much thought to her because she's dead and her reign was like really she's pretty much the opposite to all of my principles because you know obviously she protected Pinochet yes she did and then when he finally left on humanitarian ground in Britain he arrived in Chile he had the plane in a wheelchair which was the reason he gets up and walks it's a miracle it's rice over there Margaret Datcher you have a soft soft for detectives you know what prosecuted him and he's now a lawyer supporting Julian Assange defending Julian Assange so we have the British government not extraditing Pinochet one of the most brutal of all the dictators of the post-war period but they're trying to extradite Julian Assange that's right, Claire Montgomery she defended Pinochet and prosecuted Assange Balthasar Gasol was in Chile he's in Chile right now his favorite Spanish and their followers what does that say about the British government that they let him go there's different people in charge but they let him go and then they want Julian Assange well they're British I mean the British in Chile I'm talking about the government and what they played during in history they are the worst they are worse than the Americans really if you go back in history and the Americans are like sort of offsprings of them but I think the British if you see the history they have no one but many they committed genocide quite a few times in clean India and all the colonies they had so they lost their empire they joined the Americans they're nostalgic they crave power power is really you know, power is really it's a drug especially if you have a hollow heart I think they crave that they own those times that they miss but they have no empire anymore one of the results of the was this economic system that was being tried out by the Chicago school the Chicago boys we now call neoliberalism which is total it's old laissez-faire take the government out of politics out of the economy rather and let free market reign complete this is a very horrible thing that Chilean coup is given to the world it is awful people talk about Pinochet like he invented the economy in Chile it's all a lie actually in the 80s when they sold the state company the people were really it was one of the worst economic types in Chile during Pinochet and they basically stole from a group including Piñera who is a vampire they took money from Lanchile national airlines from all the state companies they treated them as their own business better, shame on them and we haven't come to the end of that no, no, no, it's ongoing and yes, and Chile was proud to be a pioneer in all of these and then I remember when we were one of the first ones who can take money out of and they thought that was like being in such a drama this is still the battle we're facing here where people resist that, try to return state control of some industries, some equality and the United States will try to get rid of that kind of government like they did your grandfather exactly, yes they really haven't ended that phase they haven't, they haven't like quite violent how do you say violent well, your grandfather was what we heard today from the Cuban ambassador was an extraordinary recitation on what Fidel Castro said about your grandfather he was an inspiration for so many people, he still is thank you so much thank you so much
