I was only an aspiring dictator. I was never a real dictator.

During 65 years, I have walked the path of duty and discipline... And today, looking back at that long path of service, my soldier's heart stirs and murmurs from deep within: Thank you. Thank you, my homeland.

Executive power is exercised by the President of the Governing Board who, with the title of President of the Republic of Chile, administers the state and is the Supreme Chief of the Nation.

My face is sour. Maybe that's why they say I'm a dictator.

I'm looking at them from above, because God put me there.

My moral and spiritual formation does not allow me to be a dictator... If I were a dictator, You can be sure that many things have happened.
