The article seeks to establish how the newspaper El Siglo, organ of the Communist Party of Chile (CCP), addressed the so-called "Honecker Case". It analyzes the way in which this medium dealt with a complex case that diplomatically confronted Chile from 1991 with the Germany of Helmut Kohl and the Rusia of Boris Yeltsin, after the entry of a former East German leader to his embassy in Moscow in dicember 1991.The research addresses the vision of a political and ideological sector close, more than to the very figure of Honecker, to what he represented as leader of a system that had disappeared- the RDA- and with which he owed a debt of gratitude- Nibelungentreue- for his help during the exile. The study is complemented by unpublished diplomatic sources of the General Historical Archive of the Ministry of Foreing Affairs of Chile (AGHMINREL), Patricio Aylwin Archive and interviews.
