TRIBUTES TO CHE GUEVARA CONTINUE IN CHILE
Santiago, Chile
Since the mass meeting in this city October 17 in tribute to Che Guevara [see World Outlook November 17, page 927], other gatherings have continued to voice the feelings of the workers over the example set by the heroic life of the greatest Latin-American Marxist revolutionist of our time.
The Socialist party organized various meetings in Santiago and in the provinces. The MIR [Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria] has also conducted mass rallies. In the universities of Santiago, Concepcién and Valparaiso the miristas have organized militant demonstrations.
In Concepcién, at the rally November 19 in the Cervantes theater where the MIR-SP celebrated the victory of its slate for the first time over the Christian Democrats, a victory won by a margin of more than 200 votes, Luciano Cruz, a member of the MIR, recently elected president of the Federacién de Estudiantes de Concepcién, dedicated the victory to Che Guevara.
The Municipal Workers of Santiago, which has a membership of 3,000 workers, resolved at a meeting November 11 to pay revolutionary homage to the life and struggle of Che Guevara.
This was in response to a proposal made by militant workers of the MIR who have advanced perceptibly in this union during the past year.
