Toro and his followers belong to the Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionario, a radical organization that enjoys the support of no more than 3% of Chile's electorate.

For the moment, they were the only other permanently registered legal political party besides the government's Partido Revolucionario Institutional (P.R.I.). Other opposition parties-the conservative Acción Nacional, Lombardo Toledano's Partido Popular, and the Communists-were trying to corral enough signatures to qualify for the June 30 permanent registration deadline...
