The medical and bar associations took a similar stance. On Aug. 22 the lower house of the Chilean Congress passed a resolution denouncing Allende’s power grab and calling on the military to uphold its oath to the constitution. Not exactly the sort of coup that's normally portrayed. Allende getting a lower fraction of the vote than Hitler is also cute. (Slightly less than 37 percent vs slightly more than 37)
