Pinochet, not a "President," Chile's Lower House approves

Chile's Lower House Tuesday passed a resolution striping late dictator Augusto Pinochet Ugarte from the title of "president" by 67 votes against 47 and 8 abstentions, it was reported in Santiago. The initiative should not pass to the Senate as it is a draft statement that also defines Pinochet as a "military and political figure" and his government (1973-1990) as an "authoritarian regime."
