TN in Chile: the protesters defy the army and there is shooting, incendiary and roaring bombs

The decision of Chilean President Sebastián Piñera to proclaim the state of emergency and to bring down the army on the streets is far from appeasing the protests that began two weeks ago because of the rise of the metro ticket. TN arrived Saturday in Santiago de Chile to achieve exclusive coverage of the growing violence that faces the trans-Andean country.

The fact is that the Chileans came out to challenge the state of emergency: some with pots in their hands, others in a much more violent way: groups were burned, barricades in the streets and bombs in different parts of the capital. as shown by the TN cameras.

Peaceful civil disobedience was unleashed today and tension mounted on Maipú Square. A policeman then detonated a tear gas canister in front of which the population had reacted and forced uniformed soldiers to withdraw. An hour later, armed forces pose a threatening posture, but protesters are still in place.

In the town of La Florida, people went to blow up their pots with family and pets at Trinidad station, damaged yesterday amid demonstrations, which destroyed 41 stations. In Plaza Brasil, a large number of young people are also shouting "The united people will never be defeated". The same slogans were heard in the port of San Antonio where a crowd headed towards the seafront.

In Plaza Italia, symbol of all the celebrations, cars launching water and tear gas are trying to dissolve the demonstrations, which increases the tension with the military forces and the rejection of citizenship, which he says simply, express their protest against face-to-face violations with Just a pan in the hand.

In the municipality of Ñuñoa, where middle-class neighborhoods live, demonstrations do not stop after one hour in the metro stations. They are always accompanied by cacerolazos coming from the buildings and the accompaniment of car horns. There is no leader of demonstrations, no specific group, no political party behind this unprecedented movement that revolutionized the city in four days.

For some, the rise in the passage of the metro was the drop that swamped the glass of indignation at a series of abuses reproached citizens: growing light, delays in the payment of medical licenses, low wages, mediocre pensions, without the authority offers a concrete and real answer. President Sebastián Piñera has summoned all the mayors and parliamentarians of the metropolitan area to a meeting in La Moneda. For 21:00 GMT, the chief of sector in emergency, General Javier Iturriaga, announced a new overview, after saying this morning after his first flight "the city is calm".
