Today, at 15:15 GMT, General Augusto Pinochet, the former Chilean dictator, died.
I went to a few online services to see how he was called in the main headline:
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH (UK), THE NEW YORK TIMES, EL NUEVO HERALD (USA), EXPRESSO (Portugal), EL MERCURIO, LA TERCERA (Chile), EL UNIVERSAL (Mexico): Augusto Pinochet.
FINANCIAL TIMES (UK), O GLOBO (Brazil), LE MONDE (France), CLARIN (Argentina), EL PAIS, ABC, 20 MINUTOS, EL MUNDO (Spain): dictator.
LA REPUBBLICA (Italy): “dittatore sanguinario.”
Chile is divided about his state funeral.
A democratic and serious country like Chile, with a Socialist government, has to decide.
When he lost a “referendum”, a Chilean newspaper had one of the best headlines in history:
“He runned alone and arrived the second”
