Isabel Allende Bussi

María Isabel Allende Bussi (born January 18, 1945) is a Chilean Socialist politician and the daughter of former president of Chile Salvador Allende, and his wife, Hortensia Bussi. From 1994 to 2010 she was a deputy and in March 2010 she became a senator for the Atacama Region.

Following her father's death in the coup of September 11, 1973, Allende fled with her mother and two sisters, first to Cuba, and then to Mexico where she spent 16 years of exile before returning to Chile in 1989 as the military dictatorship was ending. Allende is second cousin to Chilean writer Isabel Allende.
