The clearly revolutionary reforms? Mario Amoros Mario Amoros During the Government of the Popular Unity, the elections were called that corresponded and when they corresponded. In April 1971, the left exceeded 50% of the votes in the municipal elections; In March 1973, the opposition triumphed in the parliamentary elections, although the Popular Unity increased its representation in the National Congress.
