The support of the Military Junta contributes to the success of the Teletón televised campaign. In return, the broadcast fits perfectly into the dictatorship's propaganda strategy, naturalizing its economic options and building political legitimacy in its favor. The support of the de facto government is inserted in a neoliberal strategy that dismantles and reduces direct public action in the disability sector and that encourages the development of private associations. In order to achieve our purpose, we start from the analysis of a corpus of primary sources that we collected in the Archive of the International Labor Organization, the National Archive of the Administration, as well as documents belonging to the Sociedad Pro-Ayuda al Niño Lisiado and to other associations in the National Library of Chile. We have also consulted press releases that cover the broadcasts of the first five Telethons, which took place between 1978-1982, and the videos available on YouTube of them. En este artículo buscamos demostrar que, en Chile, en la dictadura pinochetista se da un “giro caritativo” en las políticas de discapacidad y que la emergencia de la Teletón es síntoma y expresión paradigmática de estas. El apoyo de la Junta Militar contribuye al éxito de la campaña televisada Teletón. En afinidad de sentido, la emisión se ajusta a la estrategia de propaganda de la dictadura, naturalizando sus opciones económicas y construyendo legitimidad política a su favor. El respaldo del gobierno de facto se inserta en una estrategia neoliberal que desmantela y reduce la acción pública directa en el sector de la discapacidad y que fomenta el desarrollo de las asociaciones privadas. Con el fin de alcanzar nuestro propósito partimos del análisis de un corpus de fuentes primarias que recogimos en el Archi- vo de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo, el Archivo Nacional de la Administración, así como de documentos pertenecientes a la Sociedad Pro-Ayuda al Niño Lisiado y a otras asociaciones en la Biblioteca Nacional de Chile. Hemos también consultado notas de prensa que cubren las emisiones de las cinco primeras Teletones, acontecidas entre 1978-1982, y videos disponibles en Youtube.
