Social outbreak in Chile: The call to a metamorphosis
Introduction
It is known that thousands, and even millions of Chileans filled the streets starring mass demonstrations (violent and peaceful), where the movement demanded several demands such as: a constitutional reform, no more rise in the public transport network, decent retirement, among others. The social outbreak, social crisis or revolution of the 30 pesos concentrated the look of practically everyone, putting the demands of the Chilean people at the revolt, the way to cope with this by the authorities and, by the way, the victims of violence in violence in Its course, where the presence of minors stands out.
Developing
The outbreak occurred on October 18, 2019 with the evasions to the subway, but with the passing of the days these evasions increased and with it the marches and protests, so that President Sebastián Piñera decreed the state of constitutional exception progressively due to the various manifestations and disorders. Thus, towards October 23 the state of emergency had already been declared in 15 of the 16 main regions.
These manifestations were pale mainly by police through cars throw water, tear pumps, pepper gas, riot balines, and why not?: Through violence. In the act by police, the multiple attacks by its troops through riot balines, which must be rubber to not pierce the skin at least, but the ocular trauma unit, before the various cases received, requests, requests the skin. Jorquera and Palma (2019) who investigate their composition, where they conclude that they contain 20% rubber and the remaining 80% correspond to other compounds such as silica (SiO2), barium sulfate (BASO4) and lead (PB) (PB). Which means that the balines are not fully of rubber as believed and with it they could be a strong trigger for loss of vision,
How to forget the story of Fabiola Campillay? 36 -year -old woman who was injured by the body of Carabineros through a tear pump causing loss of view in both eyes when she headed to her workplace, a situation that could be avoided, but to avoid it, a full change is necessary in the system. It is not necessary to mention more specific cases of those attacks out of respect for the same victims.
While there were vandals that looted supermarkets and deteriorated private properties, did Fabiola broken dishes to pay, as well as the 296 cases of ocular lesion confirmed by the INDH? Or like the approximately 12,000 injured, of which a non -lower part were minors? The bad image that inspires the body of Carabineros in Chile, which had already been belittled by the town after the coup d’etat of the year 1973 is known since before the outbreak of 2019.
In addition to the multiple cases of denunciation for violation of human rights committed by Carabineros against the people, in the social outbreak of 2019, several videos were made viral where police officers acted covering their identification, or simply, without even carrying it.
Far from being an example institution and for the well -being of the Chilean people, a part of this has had to suffer the consequences of a system that gives many faculties to it, where there is perfectly the abuse of power and with it everything which implies: sexual abuse, physical or psychological violence and/or any violation against what is established by human rights, which by the way are inexorable and inalienable.
No cases have been known where victims of violations of DDs. H H. During the outbreak they are relatives of police why? Simply for the selective powers provided by the system to them. The members of this institution can discern between who is thrown a tear pump or who is fired by a ball, is like what happens when you travel in public transport and the driver discriminates you for being a student, being that, this could be your own son.
Likewise, despite the fact that the social outbreak occurred on October 18, 2019, the inequality between classes in Chile is not something recent, in fact, World Bank Group in Poverty and Shared Prosperity points to Chile as the seventh most unequal country in the World based on the Gini coefficient, which, through a contrast between income and economic expenses, is used as a reference to measure the inequality in the different countries of the world. That is, as in cases of abuse of power by Carabineros, the discontent citizen, there is the desire to raise their voice and go out to demonstrate to the streets in search of a change in the bases of the country.
If Chile is a country as unequal as the World Bank group points out, why not join all for the same cause against inequality instead of repressing the people violently? Clearly because of the same inequality that exists. If it weren’t for the town, who would the body of Carabineros protect?, And with this I am not saying that the totality of Chilean society walks along the path of good, but there were thousands of innocent victims, including older adults, boys and girls. So the act of the State was and is totally wrong when using an institution as devalued as it is to repress citizens.
conclusion
Therefore, I think that making a radical change in the system and in the guidelines of Chile is something very urgent, such as the cunca that evolves to get wings and thus be an entity with more aspirations. The outbreak absolutely came to give us a sign or a push so that Chile has its own metamorphosis, which should begin with the institutions that regulate and legislate the country, as carabineros of Chile, so that, if one day the town goes back to manifest, do not have to be unfairly violated as the case of the emblematic Fabiola. I think that only that is the way to have a less unequal society and in the ways of development, with more respect among society, but without losing homework, because where respect is sown, respect is harvested.
