It was the culmination of a series of public events organized by the party to celebrate the 1973 coup, including mass rallies and the presentation of similar letters to other former junta members. For a country that just six months earlier had emerged from a dictatorship that killed, tortured, and exiled thousands of its own citizens, this was a provocative gesture. In the context of democracy, one might expect that a party willing to make such a gesture would not have much of a political future. Such an expectation, however, would be wrong: by 2001, the UDI had grown into the most- voted- for party in the country- a position that it would hold in every subsequent legislative election (except in 2017, when it came in second)"-- |cProvided by publisher. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web 650 0 Conservatism |zLatin America. 650 0 Political parties |zLatin America. 651 0 Latin America |xPolitics and government |y1980- 655 0 Electronic books. 856 40 |zFull text available from Oxford Scholarship Online Political Science |uhttps://go.openathens.net/redirector/ecu.edu?url=https%3A%2F%2Facademic.oup.com%2Fbook%2F39296 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJOYNER188 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hHSL77 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJMUSIC60 596 1 3 4 998 6130311
