MADRID — Deputy Prime Minister Alfonso Guerra led tens of thousands of Spaniards in an all-party march here Sunday against the Chilean government of President Augusto Pinochet.
Several Socialist government ministers marched alongside Communist Party leader Gerardo Iglesias and trade union chiefs behind a banner reading “Freedom for Chile.”
Pinochet imposed a state of siege after escaping an assassination attempt last Sunday as he traveled in a motorcade outside Santiago. Five bodyguards were killed.
