FIVE years after the citizens’ revolt in Chile on October 18 2019, which lasted three months, the leading political and institutional organisations distance themselves from the facts, distorting them in an attempt to criminalise the events. 

This manifests itself at a time when political parties, the Congress and business sector are experiencing the lowest approval rates in a decade.

The entire judiciary is seen as corrupt, the pension reform has been stopped, the cost of living is out of control. You add to it the grotesque and toxic fights in the political arena and among the elites, while the sky-rocketing salaries of government officials cause indignation and rage. Access to quality healthcare and education continues to be exclusive and expensive.
