WESTERN HEMISPHERE BRIEF 117-75-Y
//CHILE: LEFT-WING CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY EXILES FROM CHILE
RECENTLY MET IN VENEZUELA WITH MODERATE LEADERS OF FORMER PRESIDENT
ALLENDE'S COALITION AND CALLED FOR THE CREATION OF A BROAD FRONT TO
OPPOSE THE MILITARY GOVERNMENT IN SANTIAGO. THE MEETING IS SURE TO
INTENSIFY THE GOVERNMENT'S DISTRUST OF CIVILIAN POLITICIANS.//Y
//THE CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATS--BERNARDO LEIGHTON, RENAN FUENTEALBA,
AND GABRIEL VALDES--WERE ACTING ON THEIR OWN, AND THEIR PARTICIPATION
REPORTEDLY EMBARRASSED THE LEADERSHIP IN SANTIAGO.//Y
//THE CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY, LIKE OTHER POLITICAL GROUPS,
IS "IN RECESS" AND ON POOR TERMS WITH THE GOVERNMENT. LEIGHTON AND
FUENTEALBA WERE EXPELLED FROM THE COUNTRY FOR THEIR OUTSPOKEN
CRITICISM OF THE REGIME.//Y
//THE CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S CONTINUED LEGAL EXISTENCE HAS
BEEN IN QUESTION EVER SINCE FORMER PRESIDENT FREI PUBLICLY CRITICIZED
THE JUNTA'S ECONOMIC POLICIES LAST MONTH. FREI'S STATEMENTS EVOKED
A STRONG REACTION FROM THE JUNTA AND RAISED RUMORS THAT THE GOVERN-
MENT WOULD EXILE HIM.//Y
