The “October 18 Movement”
This Wednesday, the self-proclaimed “October 18 Movement”, a name that alludes to the social outbreak in Chile on October 18, 2019he sent a proclamation to the ANSA news agency in which he adjudicates those attacks.

We remind you that the blood of our heroes is not transacted and while we don’t know where is the last missing detainee there will be no forgiveness or forgetting.”
They called “on the people of Chile to open their eyes to this new scenario that is coming. To re-organize themselves in the populations, in the environmental coordinators, in the unions, in the student federations and in the academy.
To return to dispute the principles that exploded the rage that October 18″.
