Throughout 1973 violent attacks by fascists and right wing forces grew daily and Jara had several narrow escapes. The government still refused to arm the masses, although supporters of the National Party drilled openly in the streets outside the "Red Faculty" and the CIA armed the fascists.
Victor Jara seems to have accepted the argument that to arm the workers was impossible because it would provoke a military coup. But at the same time he would appear to have been sceptical of the CPs September 1973'. . The date was wrong. At the time there was no way of knowing which day my husband had been murdered. I had left no space for flowers. The usual little troughs in front of the niches look bare and sad when they are empty. I could not know that Victor's grave would never be without flowers, that unknown people would go to any lengths to climb up and tie tins and pots with bits of wire and string in order to leave their offerings, even though in doing so they risked arrest."
