A wave of anti-austerity protests swept through Chile over the weekend, with right-wing President Piñera ordering troops into the streets and imposing a curfew. Shortly after this story was filed, Piñera announced a retraction of the subway fare increase, one of the main issues that brought people into the streets. A report from Camila Uribe Rosales

  1. The police is also robbing and setting on fire supermarkets, and other places, trying to frame the people for it. We have no liberty to protest and manifest on the streets, because the police repress everything violently. But that is not it, the repression is so horrible that the military and the police are shooting at people on the street, people are getting seriously injured, sexualy abused, they are disappearing and they are being killed!! The government gives them the liberty to do so: to shoot to kill, to rape, to beat people up, to kidnap….
    We are manifesting our anger, our pain, asking for a change, but we can never do it in peace.
    But this will not stop, the people will not stop fighting, because "el pueblo unido jamás será vencido".

    And I thank you for this, news usually just lie, especially here in Chile, TV is just another pawn of dictatorship. So thank you for the reality of this news.

  2. What I see is a bunch of people burning and vandalizing stuff. There have also been a lot of thefts and destruction of private property. Why didn't they vandalize government properties? The subway is something that people use so it doesn't affect the government. Private property destruction does not affect the government. We all have the right to protest but not by vandalizing. " Respect for other people's rights is peace": Benito Juarez.

  3. What the Chileans don't appear to understand is when the US plutocrats removed the elected government of Chile for attempting to national their copper resources against the interests of Wall Street, the US plutocrats installed Pinochet during a bloody coup. Along with the installation of Pinochet was the rewriting of the Chilean constitution using the talents of the Chicago School's Milton Friedman and the Koch affiliated James Buchanan. The Libertarian connection can be easily understood by the "access to" replacing "the right to" prefixing issues like health care in the constitution. The interested parties at the time wanted to ensure their Austrian (Neoliberal) policies to benefit Wall Street and the local oligarchs transcended future administrations and so von Mises' Austrian economics was embedded into the Chilean constitution. Previous administrations have attempted to reverse this new 1980 Libertarian IMF constitution and have failed. What makes the people think this current pro Washington Chilean administration will be any more successful?

  4. Billionaires allowing things to get desperate are acting against their interests by siphoning too much from the people.

  5. Letz not forget that we / the USA Govt promoted and supported a violent regime change overthrow of a democratically elected leader in Chile followed by the installation of a violent authoritarian dictator.

  6. This is what the American government wants to happen so they can declare marshal law and take over
    Our government forgot who the work for
    WE THE PEOPLE

    Government only has their pocket books in mind as long as they can take your money they will continue to get rich at the people’s expense

  7. This is global at this point. We the people are tired of the elite. The elite make sure to keep people in poverty and it doesn't have to be this way. Just evil for profit.

  8. Neoliberalism is destroying the world! This is the 1970's all over again when Nixon told Kissinger: Make their economy scream.

  9. Half a century of globalization has resulted in oppressing people globally the same way. You could very well expect to hear these same issues raised at a Bernie Sanders campaign speech or a yellow vest protest. It is shocking to see how much the oligarchy has in common the world over. It is long past time we end the reign of the global elite class and go back to supporting the rights of the working class.

  10. Every single country around the world, it's the same story. The Trumpian disaster in the USA, the Boris fiasco in England, Yellow Vests still rocking it in France, Hong Kong getting hotter by the second, India talking about legitimate holocaust ethnic cleansing, Israel trying to start WW3, still mass EMPIRE PIPELINE WARS raging in the middle east since 2003….

    Hold together Earth…hoooolllldddddddddddd……

  11. POVERTY is the rich man greatest industry it manufactures the poor that is preyed upon. Food, clothing and shelter are basic human rights /needs, and shouldn't be use as bargaining chip, for favors, from governments that are puppets/tools in the hands of the rich. The people collectively should always have a say.

  12. Solidarity with the Chilean people! Only worldwide proleterian revolution can put us on the path to freedom and dignity.
