Describe similarities between Pinochet’s government in Chile and Fujimori’s government in Peru.(1 point) Responses Both governments were an extension of Cuba’s influence. Both used human rights abuses to maintain power. Both used communism to maintain power. Both followed the example of Allende’s government.
These responses are not accurate. Pinochet and Fujimori were both right-wing authoritarian leaders who came to power through different circumstances and ideologies. Pinochet's government in Chile was a military dictatorship that overthrew the democratically elected socialist government of Salvador Allende, while Fujimori's government in Peru was elected democratically and implemented neoliberal economic policies. While both regimes were accused of human rights abuses, their ideological backgrounds and methods of maintaining power were quite different.
