Andrés Pascal Allende

Andrés Pascal Allende

Andrés Pascal Allende is a Chilean Marxist revolutionary and nephew of former President Salvador Allende.

He was born in Santiago, the son of Gastón Pascal Lyon and of Laura Allende Gossens. He is the co-founder and former leader of the Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR) (Spanish "Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria") along with Miguel Enríquez. After the Chilean coup of 1973, and upon original leader Miguel Enriquez's death in 1974, Andres Pascal Allende took control of MIR. Pascal's leadership stint ended relatively quickly when he fled Chile in 1976 for Cuba.

In March 1976, Orlando Bosch was arrested by Costa Rican police for suspicion of trying to assassinate him and his companion Mary-Anne Beausire [ [http://www.progresoweekly.com/index.php?progreso=Landau&otherweek=1180414800 The 1970s as context for terrorist violence] by Saul Landau, "Progreso Weekly", 30 May 2007.
