The 1964 presidential election resulted in a victory of Christian Democrat Eduardo Frei Montalva   by an absolute majority voters. It initiated a period of major reform. Under the slogan "Revolution in Liberty", the Frei administration had embarked on far-reaching social and economic programs, particularly in education, housing, and agrarian reform, including rural unionization of agricultural workers, but by 1967, Frei encountered increasing opposition from leftists, who charged that his reforms were inadequate and from conservatives, who found them excessive in nature.
