Protests in Chile

Hello Readers. How are you? Today I'm going to talk about the protests in Chile...

Last Thursday was the march for the education. This march was organize by the “Confederación de Estudiantes de Chile” (CONFECH) and was inside of the student movement. 

The student movement, in Chile, was born in 2006 with the “Penguin Revolution”. The Penguin Revolution tried to win a public education, free education, free transport for secundary students, the end of the “Ley Orgánica Constitucional de Enseñanza (LOCE)”, etc. 

Penguin Revolution, 2006

Now, the student movement look for the free and public education. Also we want an education in favor of students and society, and not for business men. 

March of April 16th

In Chile, in the last time, we are living in a context of corruption of our political class. Deals with business men and after the political people vote, in the Congress, in favor of the rich people and not for majority of Chile. 

In my opinion this movement is necessary to show to the country what’s happend with the education in our country. Also is necessary to show to our compatriots the importance of our voice, and show to political class that we (society) have the power! 

I think that march are a symbolic protest, because we show how many people are waiting for quality of our education. But, in my opinion, the best protest is the direct action. For example, go to Valparaiso for the speech of Michel Bachelet and interrupt the show. 

Ok Readers, it’s all for today.

Next Thursday I’ll write again.
Take Care :)
