→Economic crisis and food shortages
The Government's ineffable official comment was transmitted by Bosco Parra: "It is not rationing - he said -. On the contrary, it is a search for a solution to the existing problems. It is the establishment of standards for the identification of needs.

Between October 9 and November 5, 1972, the most extensive and massive national strike in Chilean and Latin American history to that date took place. When, at the beginning of October 1972, the Chilean truckers' union decided to paralyze its functions from north to south, it was fully aware of the rupture it would produce in the Allende regime.
International aid, especially from the U.S., came to help the truckers.
The transport union and others started the process of the beginning of the end of the Red Terror that the left wanted to impose.
The action of this movement in the struggle to overthrow the leftist government in power was fierce until the end of that nightmare.
The struggle of unions and organizations that united against the tyranny improved with the passing of events and in practice there was no other way out but to stop transportation as a weapon that would prevent the total destruction of the national economy.
It was in this scenario full of struggle that on October 9, 1972, Chile was awakened by the courageous carriers who began their strike. This stoppage, which was a historical product of their strength and cohesion, was the prelude to the intervention of the Armed Forces and the Order Forces (Carabineros), whose commanders were others.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blogdehermogenes.blogspot.com/2020/08/barbaridades-diarias.html|title=Barbaridades diarias|date=August 8, 2020|language=es|publisher=[[Hermógenes Pérez de Arce]]'s blog}}</ref>
