A national consultation on
PresidentAugusto Pinochet's political program was held throughout
Chile on 4 January 1978. After being accused of
human rights violations by the
United Nations, Pinochet announced a national vote to confirm support for his policies. The 'yes' field of the ballot featured a
Chilean flag, while the 'no' field featured a solid black rectangle to
nudge the vote in favor of Pinochet.[1][2]
Results
Given the international aggression against the government of our country, I support President Pinochet in his defense of the dignity of Chile, and I confirm again the legitimacy of the Government of the Republic in its sovereign head of the institutionalization process in the country.
