Chile had the largest decrease in GDP in its history with Pinochet, -12% (Central Bank). He had a record of inequality with Pinochet (0.57 in the Gini index), one of the highest levels of inequality in the world. With Pinochet we also had the worst levels of malnutrition, from an average of 2,460 calories per capita per day (Allende government) to less than 2,000. (FAO) We had the highest rates of unemployment (up to 30%), the highest rates of indigence (18%) or almost one in five Chileans did not have the minimum for the basic basket. The highest levels of inflation 750% and the highest migration rates, about 7% of the population had to flee the country because there was no food. In addition, the minimum wage disappeared and the national industry was dismantled, benefiting foreign capital. The people who support Pinochet are a low percentage generally belonging to the oligarchy of the country, they were benefited by the widespread corruption of their government, justice allowed many crimes of the rich to be concealed, the military received higher pensions than those of an average Chilean, the torturers received large payments for their crimes, the big businessmen were able to create large monopolies and constantly collude to raise prices, now all the cases of corruption are related to the big mafia families that were benefited by Pinochet, it is natural that support.
