Infos

Chile has been in chaos since October 2019. Roiled by mass protests and looting, the government of Chile has declared a state of emergency and imposed curfews in many cities across the country: About 20,000 soldiers are patrolling the streets, over 2,300 people have been injured and thousands have been arrested and at least 23 have been killed - the worst unrest Chile has faced since Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship three decades ago. To make matters worse, the Chilean authorities have begun advancing an increasingly authoritarian message implying that the conflict must be solved with repression. The government of President Pinera does not seem to understand the magnitude of the problem or what is at stake: Namely the problem of poverty, inequality, as well as lack of civil liberties in Chile, which need to be addressed urgently. Hence this book endeavours to improve civil rights and political stability in Chile; so that human rights and human dignity can be restored in this beautiful country.
