After Allende's election victory in 1970 and in the face of the nationalization and collectivization of enterprises, SOFOFA, headed by representatives of the conglomerates, stepped up its counteractivities. Moving well beyond mere propaganda work, the supply of daily consumer goods was interrupted in an attempt to provoke backlash. Along these lines, SOFOFA organized entrepreneurial boycotts and a collapse of private transportation. In 1971, the association explicitly dedicated itself to an overthrow of the government; the Chicago-trained economist Sergio Undurruga was charged with coordinating the SOFOFA task groups security, propaganda, and economic policy (Delano and Traslaviña 1989, 23f.; Corvalán Marquéz 2001, 225).
