Mrs Figueiredo announced that, according to a press communiqué, the Chilean police had entered the headquarters of the Chilean Communist Party, and that 30 people, including the party's secretary-general, had been injured. If this information was correct, she called on Parliament to protest very strongly to the Chilean authorities (the President replied that the information would be verified).
