Protesters' stories: Camila Vallejo and Chile



Today I am going to talk about this news article:

This article is an interview to Camila Vallejo. She relates a few thing over the protest in Chile during the last year 2011.

She says that this year was especial because existed many social protest mainly between may and November. There was more as 200 marches just in Santiago, but the they were along the whole country. Camila tells about the unbelievable quantity of people that went to the marches. They were plan, but the leaders of this year “never imagine” says Camila the thousands and thousands of people that assisted to the protests.

The other important thing that Camila tells is about the legacy of the dictatorship today In Chile and the behavior of the police. During the 2011 existed many complaints about torture that the Chilean police make in the marches to the detained people. She also says that today we have in Chile a lot of laws and the legacy of Pinochet, for example that the civil society in Chile is very week.

This article is related to my discipline (Sociology) because talks about the social changes that happened in the Chilean society during the 2011.
