The phrase comes from Salvador Allende's final radio address on 11 September 1973, broadcast from La Moneda Palace during the military coup in Chile. He said that sooner rather than later the grandes alamedas would open for free people to walk through. The recording survived and became one of the most quoted lines in Chilean political memory, shared each anniversary and widely reused in documentaries, classrooms and social media posts about democracy and resistance.

Clip of Salvador Allende saying grandes alamedas from his final 1973 speech, used in history edits, political posts and remembrance videos online.
This is a short excerpt of Salvador Allende speaking in Spanish, delivering the line about the grandes alamedas, the wide avenues where free people will walk. His voice is calm, firm and recorded with the slight crackle of an old radio broadcast, which gives the clip a solemn, historic weight. Even in under five seconds, the phrasing feels hopeful rather than angry, framing the moment as a promise about the future. Listeners who know the context hear it as defiant and moving, while others recognise its grave, iconic tone instantly.
