We face austerity, privatisation, and toxic influence. But we are growing, and cannot be beaten
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.
