Abstract

This article deals with the international fallout from Erich Honecker’s entrance into the Chilean embassy in Moscow in 1991. This process became one of the most confusing episodes in the recent history of Chilean foreign affairs. The study analyzes the internal political effects of Honecker’s case, focusing on two significant points of view: first, the conflict between the executive and legislative branches of government; and second, the positions adopted by political parties in response to the situation. The research is based on an exhaustive analysis of diplomatic primary sources, records from the Chamber of Deputies, and media archives.
