With this mandate, he started nationalizing the Chilean economy. The Chilean Supreme Court, the Bar Association, and a number of other organizations complained that Allende was systematically trampling the law and Constitution. A month before the coup, almost half the workforce were on strike demanding that Allende resign. re: Mossadegh and the budding democracy of Iran - ended by the CIA in 1953 March 8, 1953, Pro-Western Premier Ali Razmara is assassinated.
