Rhétorique trumpiste, souvenirs de dictature

In brief

Author Ovide Bastien has reflected on the role of religious authorities during the 1973 military coup in Chile led by dictator Augusto Pinochet.

In his personal journals, Bastien recorded his anger toward the complacency shown by Church leaders during the rise of the Pinochet regime. He described witnessing widespread terror during the takeover. His observations are featured in his work, Chili: le coup divin.
