Democracy Now! <\/em>has the discussion One Million Take to Streets of Chile in the \u201cLargest Mobilization Since the End of Dictatorship\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\nChilean President Sebasti\u00e1n Pi\u00f1era has announced a major cabinet shuffle after more than one million people flooded the streets Friday in massive peaceful demonstrations over inequality, high cost of living and privatization. The protest drew more than 5% of Chile\u2019s population and followed days of widespread civil unrest that sparked a violent police and military crackdown across the country. At least 18 people have been killed and hundreds more have been shot and wounded since protests erupted Oct. 19. The protests in Chile began in response to a subway fare hike and have grown into a mass uprising against the government. We speak with Professor Macarena G\u00f3mez-Barris, founder and director of the Global South Center and chairperson of Social Science and Cultural Studies at the Pratt Institute, and Alondra Carrillo Vidal, a spokesperson for Chile\u2019s largest feminist advocacy group, Coordinadora Feminista 8M\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
