I know this is not the place for this, and I don't want to be kicked out, but I need to inform what's happening here in Chile. Before I start, I apologize for my english, and most importantly, this is what I have seen, on videos that people share, on the news and the street:

Contextualizing, the minimal wage is something like $400 and 60% of the country get this or less, health, education, basic services (food, water, electricity) everything is private (yes, including water), so they charge what they want, and they've been raising the price of their services with no control. People nowdays have to ask for a credit to fucking eat.

Protests and manifestations had been around for years, but they didnt listen. In fact, a lot of people, leaders of the protests, have been found dead ("suicide") or not found ar all (missing). When highschool students (underages) joined the protests, the goverment started sending police officers to highschools to repress the students.

With the raise on metro tickets, when this movement as whole started, the police fulfilled the metro stations with officers that started beating and detaining people. At some point, like 10 metro stations in Santiago (the capital of chile) were burned down in less than a hour (remember that they were all full of officers because of the evasions, protesters had been trying to burn 1 single station for 3 days with no success) and they blamed it on the people. That was the excuse of the goverment to declare emergency state and get the militars out, that's when it all went to hell: in addition to the tearing gas, the crowd control bullets and the extreme violence, they started abducting people from their homes (including underages, students and even a 5 years old, I got the video where is being taken). Some of them appeared hanged to death in their cells, lots of missing people and injured by bullets (crowd control and real police bullets).

The national institutes of human rights (INDH instituo nacional de derechos humanos) started doing their work and they've announced that the police is refusing to give the legal paperwork for their actions, not only that, they've been violently making people sign false declarations and intimidating (I dont remember the word for a violent intimidation) lawyers and medics to deny their accusations.

3 days laters, people started to take footage of militars and police officers taking detained people to suspicious places. The investigations followed those accusations reavealed torture centers. Hanged people, beaten to death, raped women and LGTB people.

The goverment declared war to the people, the tv channels are all property of goverment assets, and of course, they started blaming everything on the people, protecting and justifying the human rights violations.

2 days ago, hackers hacked the police intelligence and revealed that the police had been following and investigating protesters leaders for many years. Not a single drugdealer or real thieves/burglars etc.

In addition, theres a lot of footage made by people revealing that the police is burning down markets, and other social buildings that then the tv shows and blame on people. The burned corpses that appeared in those fires were killed by police bullets and not the fire, when the director of the laboratory that made the autopsy announced that, the goverment just got rid of her and now the "official" cause of death is the fire.

Even though the tv now is trying to get back to normal (measure taken for the COP25 and APEC meetings (suspended now)), the people is still out there protesting, and the police is still doing all that was described in this posts.

As this events go on, everyday news about corruption and illegal coalitions are reavealed. No member of the goverment is free from these accusations on different subjects.

DONT BELIEVE ANYTHING OUR GOVERMENT SAYS about the events in Chile. Everyone in here knows this now. Everything makes sense now, every protester disappeared, every "suicide" declared by our goverment.

AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about the significance of Piñera dismissing his entire cabinet to form a new one? Does that matter to you and to the protesters at this point?

ALONDRA CARRILLO VIDAL: No. We are asking him to leave. People want to overthrow this government because they are responsible not only for the political measures that have made life precarious in the last years, but also he is responsible politically for the rapes, the sexual political violence that has been taken by the military and the police. He is responsible for the disappearance and murders of people in the last week. So I think he is taking a desperate measure with this asking all his ministers to leave, but it is a desperate measure that will not calm people, because that’s not what we want. We don’t want this government to reorganize itself. We want them gone.
