President Frei reacted by ending the legislative session of the congress, and declaring a state of emergency. However, after a phone conversation with the head of the Army General Staff, René Schneider, General Viaux issued a statement in which he emphasized that "my movement is not against the President of the Republic," but rather was a last resort "to call attention" to the necessity of putting the Army in the place it deserved. The next day, October 22, General Viaux ended his rebellion, having elicited the following concessions that were officialized in the so-called "Tacna agreement": the Chilean Army's commander-in-chief, General Sergio Castillo; the minister of Defense, General Tulio Marambio, would retire. Division General Schneider would become Army Commander-in-chief, and; the government would urgently upgrade the salaries of army personnel and the rest of the military budget.
