I’m not familiar with the specifics but he left office in the late 80s through the democratic process.
If you arent familiar with Pinochet you shouldnt really said idiotic things like that, the guy was as authoritarian as it gets and the economy was shit under him, his only saving grace is that it would had been worse under Allende, but thats not really a high bar.
His grip on power weakened in 1982 with the economic crisis which made him lose his base at that point everyone hated him and he did shit like burn down churches which only made him lose more power as conservatives didnt liked that.
