Early life and education

edit

Pascal was born on the 12 July 1943 in Valparaíso, to Gastón Pascal Lyon and Laura Allende.[1] Pascal has 3 older siblings, Pedro Gastón, Marianne and Denise Pascal [es], a politician for the Socialist Party of Chile.[2][3][4][5] He is of Basque[6] and Belgian descent.

Pascal was educated at the Grange School and Saint George's College. [7][8] Continuing his education, Pascal studied sociology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.[8] Pascal also studied history at the University of Chile but didn't graduate.[8]

During the 1960s, Allende married Carmen Castillo Echeverría, a French-Chilean filmmaker and member of the Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR).[9][10] The couple had one daughter, Camila Pascal Castillo, before later separating.[9]

MIR and exile

edit

Pascal is the former leader of the Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR) along with Miguel Enríquez. After the Chilean coup of 1973, and upon original leader Miguel Enriquez's death in 1974, Andrés Pascal Allende took control of the MIR. Pascal's leadership stint ended relatively quickly when he fled Chile in 1976 for Cuba.

In March 1976, Orlando Bosch was arrested by Costa Rican police on suspicion of trying to assassinate Pascal and his companion Mary-Anne Beausire.[11] In 1978, Pascal's 4 year old son Pablo died from fulminant bacterial meningitis. [12]

In 1986, Pascal ceased to be the Secretary General of the Movement of the Revolutionary Left. [13]
