Then they don't know their own history. Pinochet was a reluctactant hero to his people and if they are resentful (I know some who are not) they are also ignorant.

from wiki:

Pinochet came to power in a coup d'état on September 11, 1973 after the Chamber of Deputies in its Resolution of August 22, 1973 declared that Allende had violated the Constitution.

Pinochet came to power in a coup d'état on September 11, 1973 after the Chamber of Deputies in its Resolution of August 22, 1973 declared that Allende had violated the Constitution.

Allende violated the Constitution, but Pinochet canceled it, wrote himself his own, and installed himself as leader of a violent military junta. Now please explain to me why the latter act is less of a problem, Constitutionally, than the former.
