La Victoria
The La Victoria neighborhood was a focus of opposition to the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, housing groups of the political left in Santiago. It was the epicenter of numerous land seizures, protests and incidents with the police. During one of the confrontations between leftist settlers and the military in 1984, French priest André Jarlan was killed when one of the bullets fired by carabineros passed through the wooden wall of the parish dormitory, hitting the priest while he was reading the Bible.
