Abraham Oyanedel

Abraham Oyanedel Urrutia was chief justice of the Supreme Court of Chile, who served as acting President of the provisional government of Chile in 1932. He was appointed following the resignation of Bartolomé Blanche, as an alternative to installing another military regime. Assured by Oyanedel that the provisional government would hold elections and protect foreign interests, on 21 October 1932, the United States and Great Britain extended recognition to the government of Chile for the first time since the June coup against Juan Esteban Montero.
