Hi today I am going to talk about my favorite month September.

This month is great because the winter is finished, the sun begins to shine, besides in my country Chile we celebrate our independence on september 18th because in this date was formed  the first "junta de gobierno" that proclaimed Chile an autonomous republic within the Spanish monarchy. 

But in Chile September means something else that a celebration because a military coup that overthrew the democratic president  Salvador Allende happens on September 11th of 1973 led by general Augusto Pinochet Ugarte, took over the control of the country. In the first years of the regime were so violent because in Chile at least 3000 dead were killed by the regime of Augusto Pinochet.

In the 17 years of this regime a new constitution were approved, we have economic crisis and a lot of human rights violations.  

In Chile the people have mixed feelings because September means a great party, holidays, alcohol, and happiness but in the other side means sad, dead and a date that separates to our people every September 11th.

In my opinion September it’s a great month because we have big parties for the celebration of our independence and at Chile we don’t have parties every month but if we want to celebrate first we have to remember with respect to all the victims of the military coup, and have in our minds that in Chile in the future we don’t want more dead or human rights violations.
