Preferred term

popular unity government  

Definition

  • The Unidad Popular (UP; Popular Unity in English) government of Chile was the left-wing coalition that brought the socialist candidate, Salvador Allende, to power in 1970 with 36% of the votes. The coalition was made of the Socialist Party (PS), the Communist Party (PC), the non-Marxist Radical Party (PR), and three other small political parties, an arrangement that often made internal decision difficult.
