up 26
UP acronym for Popular Unity coalition formed by the Chilean Socialist Party and Communist Party in 1969 and which came to power in 1970 with Salvador Allende. He tried to bring socialism to power by democratic means, but soon he moved away from the laws and the current constitution, being declared non-compliant with it by the Chamber of Deputies, the Comptroller's Office and the Supreme Court. His disastrous program of nationalizations and expropriations led the country to total ruin in less than 1000 days. When a civil war was brewing, the armed forces seized power and Augusto Pinochet took over, disappearing this calamitous alliance.
