Chile is a strange country with a peculiar type of democracy where everyone rules except the people.
A strange country where the military lost their power but none of the cowardly politicians had the courage to tell them. So, they just keep ruling the country as in the good old times. Not that they need it, because the Appeal Court also protects Pinochet. The magistrates had no problem in overruling a brave judge's decision to indict the general. Pinochet is still a free man, the military is happy and the government is relieved, because they fear the military.
