31 Minutos
''31 minutos'' (English: ''31 minutes'') is a Chilean comedy television series and a children's music virtual band created by the production company Aplaplac (owned by Álvaro Díaz, Pedro Peirano and Juan Manuel Egaña) that began to be transmitted on March 15, 2003 by the signal of Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN). The program is a parody to ''60 minutos'', a controversial news program of the same channel, transmitted in the 1970s and 1980s. It focuses on the adventures of the team of a news program of little prestige in which something unexpected always happens, whose presenter is Tulio Triviño. The program's notes are educational and leave an explicit or implicit message, while others are quite ridiculous. In its first period, the series had three seasons, from 2003 to 2005, in addition to a participation for the 2003 Chilean Telethon and a Christmas special that same year. On March 27, 2008, the series was taken to the cinema under the title of '' 31 minutos, la pelí ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Álvaro Díaz
Álvaro (, , ) is a Spanish, Galician and Portuguese male given name and surname (see Spanish naming customs) of Visigothic origin. Some claim it may be related to the Old Norse name Alfarr, formed of the elements ''alf'' "elf" and ''arr'' "warrior", but the absence of Visigothic names containing the particle "alf" or "elf" evident in Kremer's Onomastik suggests that it may come from other forms, like "all" and maybe "ward".

1988 Chilean National Plebiscite
The 1988 Chilean national plebiscite was a national referendum held on 5 October 1988 to determine whether Chile's ''de facto'' leader, Augusto Pinochet, should extend his rule for another eight years through 1996. The "No" side won with nearly 56% of the vote, indicating the end of Pinochet's fifteen and a half years in power. After democratic elections in 1989, a new government took power in 1990. The fact that the dictatorship respected the results is attributed to pressure from big business and the international community, and unease with extended rule by Pinochet within the dictatorship.
