The time has come to put an end to Pinochetism

Approximate reading time: 3 minutes, 59 seconds

After long dictatorial periods, countries must necessarily dismantle the structures that were imposed by blood and fire.

Chile, country with unfinished transition.

Chile began its journey in 1990, administering a model that was only possible to install under military boots since 1973. Substantive and decisive were the economic groups and university students from Chicago to begin the refoundation of a country that left a long history of social rights forgotten. , political and economic. All rights won between strikes and petitions. From countless trips to the cemetery.

All to eternal fire and never again.

It was not possible to defend the public health system if there were no defenders and those who raised their voices were shot and exiled. Then the economic groups decided to invent that saving people’s lives generated benefits and there was money, openly they could profit from the free whim. Hernán Buchi together with José Piñera undertook the distinguished task, on a sheet of notebook paper, to write down the Chileans who could be saved by paying, and those who simply had to die because they did not have the means to pay.

The republican/right-wing constitutional entelechy grants sacrosanct status to companies and their capital to be direct actors in the survival of millions of Chileans, and sell crosses at low cost for those who cannot be in the ISAPRES photo. Something like entering a holy, pure and untouchable, healing ground, full of angels, even more powerful than the waters of Lourdes.

Reality shows that the imposed health model failed. The ISAPRES are bankrupt and their continuity was closed. They were also paying funds for politics and its right-wing candidates. Macaya (UDI), Undurraga (Evópoli) were benefited for their campaigns with funds obtained by those who pay monthly for their right to be treated to continue living. They never told him that.

Health companies were not and have not been children of Hippocrates, possibly closer to the temple merchants. Sanhatan leeches.

In the draft of the rejected New Constitution it was established that: The national health system will be universal, public and integrated. It will be governed by the principles of equity, solidarity, interculturality, territorial relevance, deconcentration, effectiveness, quality, opportunity, gender focus, progressivity and non-discrimination.

That’s not how the right or the Republicans want it, they are not interested in a comprehensive vision to save Chileans, that’s why AGAINST.

In the New Constitution proposal that was rejected, it established in article 15 that the State guarantees all people the right to education.

The right then opted to lie, stating that under this concept the right of parents to choose the school and type of education they needed was curtailed. The reading comprehension of the right is precarious, they do not know how to read but they can lie.

Article 19 establishes that: The Constitution guarantees freedom of education and it is the State’s duty to respect it. This includes the freedom of fathers, mothers, guardians to choose the type of education of the people in their care, respecting the best interests and progressive autonomy of boys, girls and adolescents.

The right then raised its flags that private schools would be closed and that there would only be schools and high schools for those with the surname Machuca. That’s why AGAINST.

They were made to be born as something similar to the sacristy of the AFP wrapped in tinsel and chants. When they took away the silk in which she was wrapped, monsters appeared with their enormous buildings and their flags and their hymns, odes to neoliberalism. That magic box where economic groups ensure their permanence, the gift of the dictatorship to their masters.

The grateful dog that licks his boots. There was no shortage of holy water, of course, it was for the good of the country.

It is not a pension system, it is simply a daily assault on the pockets of all Chileans. A macabre game where the lives of older people have side effects, because what matters is the model, productivity, and profit until you are fed up. We simply need a decent pension system, the certainty that in those years that remain for those who have worked all their lives, they will not be mean, miserable, poor. That’s why AGAINST.

With the current classist view of the right, our native peoples cease to exist, they become a postcard in the markets of the south and north. The names of the brave men who endured the Spanish invasion will only serve to name streets with a statue in a square. They will have no rights and the whip will return to work as if it were the cotton fields. Now it’s the logging companies.

Neither the previous governments nor the current one have joined forces to find a dignified solution for a just solution for those who were before us. Our respectable native peoples. Militarizing their territory, which is theirs, becomes an eternal invasion that must be condemned. The president has to have eyes in the back of his head, as Galeano said.

In the December battle it must be seen that in some way the dismantling of the dictatorial refoundation begins. It should not be understood as a majority voting against what is unjust, it should be understood as the will to return to the course of what was proposed and started.

The correct reading of what is around the corner is to begin the burial of Pinochetism. Republicans are not eternal. The reason is in this corner and ready to fight a new battle like the many others.

There are no longer two souls in the current government, there are those who supported the country refounded by the dictatorship for thirty years, and the new ones who were absorbed by social democracy. Just one.

Nothing will be possible if every day we see the distancing of the rulers from the social movements, from the popular bodies that exist throughout the country. The need for a new pension system must return to the streets with its actors and protagonists. The flags must be raised again against profit in education that is protected by the Republicans and the right with their high schools and institutes.

We must think again about a new agrarian reform with sustainable and generous crops. The urgent and necessary democratization of the armed forces cannot be forgotten, not only to stop the robberies and assaults on tax money that run rampant through offices and barracks.

The task is pending.

It cannot be a small victory, December must become a turning point, it is also the early defeat of Kast’s fascism and his accomplices, of the dust that must be swallowed by the right that in its drunken state shouted that Chile was theirs.

Still, in the difficult conditions of the current government whose sole responsibility is themselves, it is the street that is watching to slowly rebuild itself, to try this time with more certainty that it is right and has all the reasons to cross the great avenues, this time without paying toll.

AGAINST.
