The false and interested version of Allende's trajectory was launched on September 11, 1973 by those who wanted to justify the coup, both Chilean and foreign opponents to the PA government. But in recent years the obsession with Allende has a name and last name: Victor Farías, Chilean philosopher and former professor at the Free University of Berlin.
In 2005 Farías unleashed the controversy Salvador Allende: When he published Anti-Semitism and Euthanasia. In the book, Farías attributed to the former Chilean president racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic attitudes. Allende prepared in 1933 the thesis entitled Mental Hygiene and Delinquency, in which Farías has based himself to highlight Allende’s “sins”. The press of the international right disseminates the “discovery” of Farías through eye-catching headlines: Conservative The Daily Telegraph believed that Allende, considered fascist and anti-Semitist, "could cure" homosexuality, and socialist hero Allende, "could do it."
On the one hand, when Allende wrote the thesis, it took a few years for the Second World War and a little longer for movements for homosexuals and against racism to gain strength. Therefore, Allende’s words cannot simply be inserted in the current context. On the other hand, Allende’s followers assert that the anti-Semitic, racist or homophobic references that appear in his thesis are not words of the author, but quotes from Cesare Lombroso, and Allende criticizes Lombroso’s views. Anyone who wants to check both versions http://www.elclarin.cl/fpa/pdf/tesis_sag.pdf will find Allende’s full thesis in the direction.
A year later, in 2006, Farías published another book: Salvador Allende: the end of the myth. Based on documents from the former German Federal Republic, the Socialist Party of Chile talks about its relations with the Nazis in the 1930s and the ties of the Allende Government with the USSR. Supporters of Allende, among others, used a letter sent by the Chilean Congress to Hitler to reject the new theories of Farías, which was sent after the Night of the Broken Crystals (1938), which clearly denounces what the Nazis did that night and which has the signature, among others, of Salvador Allende. The Allende Foundation, based in the Spanish State, called for a case against Farías, alleging slander against the former president
chileno.No, the lawsuit thrived, but also the controversy raised by Farías. However, the Secret Documents of Salvador Allende did not cede in his crusade. The Currency Fund published it to continue with the endless conspiracy stories about Allende. The third part had little echo.
