Solution
(i) President
Allende addressed himself mainly to the worker's because he was a socialist and
had taken several policy decisions to help the poor and the workers.
(ii) President Allende was opposed to foreign companies taking away natural
resources like copper from the country. He implemented the policy of the
redistribution of land to the landless farmers and free education and free milk
for the poor children. The landlords, the rich and the church opposed his policies
and were unhappy with him for supporting the poor.
