On 9 August, President Allende appointed General Carlos Prats as Minister of Defence.

Chilean General Carlos Prats, Uruguayan former MPs Zelmar Michelini, Héctor Gutiérrez Ruiz and the ex-president of Bolivia, Juan José Torres, were assassinated in the Argentine capital.

General Carlos Prats González ( February 24, 1915-September 30, 1974 ) was a Chilean Army officer, a political figure, minister and Vice President of Chile during President Salvador Allende's government, and General Augusto Pinochet's predecessor as commander-in-chief of the Chilean Army.

Many moderate, apolitical Army officers who supported Prats and believed in the Schneider Doctrine interpreted his joining the Allende government as a tacit endorsement of it, and thus a betrayal of General Schneider's staunch non-intereference position.

The Alejandrina Cox incident seriously damaged General Prats ' public reputation.

This time General Prats resigned his position both as Interior minister and as Commander in Chief of the Army the very next day.

General Prats ' retirement removed the last real obstacle for a military coup, which in fact took place only three weeks later, on September 11, 1973.

Immediately after the coup, on September 15, 1973, General Prats voluntarily exiled himself and his wife to Argentina.
