Death Toll in Chile Protests Rises to 18, Human Rights Groups Allege Torture democracynow.org/2019/10/24/hea…

It's hard to express the emotion of being here tonight to see Chile, a country that has endured so much, come together and sing El Derecho de Vivir en Paz by Víctor Jara - who was tortured and brutally murdered under the dictatorship - which has become the anthem of this movement

Jorge González escribió esta canción, hace ya casi 40 años, en plena Dictadura de Pinochet. Un himno de la periferia que hoy lo hace suyo una nueva generación, porque Chile sigue siendo igual de injusto que hace 40 años. “El baile de los que sobran”. 😭#LaMarchaMasGrandeDeChile

Chile beats Russia, in the combined wealth of its billionaires as a share of GDP. (Forbes 2014 data). (Chile is actually the most unequal country in the world by this measure).

BREAKING: Chile's President Piñera has asked his ministers to resign, in the most dramatic move since protests began a week ago. The military also announced an end to the curfew. Yesterday's protest, by more than 1 million Chileans, is forcing change.

What a week in Chilean politics. The neoliberal model forced on Chilean society with such brutality under Pinochet from 1973 has been dealt a mortal blow. Chileans have lost their fear and are demanding profound democratic changes. I'm excited about Chile's future #ChileDespertoً

In Chile, a billionaire president pushes austerity while the military represses protesters. Thousands have been arrested. Knowing Chile's history, this is very dangerous. The solution here and across the world is obvious. Put power where it belongs: with working people.

A friend just said to me "Are we supposed to be working during the coup?" and honestly it was the most American thing I've ever heard.

NEW: This is Pat King, an Alberta organizer with the convoy who promised "the only way that this is going to be solved is with bullets." When the convoy rolled through Saskatchewan on January 24, Conservative MP Jeremy Patzer came up to shake his hand and snap a photo.

Scott Moe a few months ago asked Justin Trudeau for more money for Healthcare. Yesterday he announced he would give a cheque for 500.00 to every adult costing 400,000,000. Justin Trudeau was right. The Provinces have money and are blaming him for the state of Healthcare.
