DER TERRORIST

Lembram-se do slogan "és liberal e não sabias" do Iniciativa Liberal nas legislativas?

As fotos da revolta popular na capital do Chile contra o aumento do preço da tarifa de metropolitano na hora de ponta que levou a que o liberal presidente Sebastián Piñera mandasse para as ruas o exército como força repressora, algo que já não acontecia desde os idos do sanguinário Augusto Pinochet, o ditador que chamou os também liberais Chicago Boys a Santiago do Chile.

In Chile, what began as a protest late last week against a 3.5 percent subway-fare hike quickly evolved into a widespread and sometimes violent set of demonstrations in a dozen cities. Although Chile’s President Sebastián Piñera has now suspended the fare hike, the protests grew, fueled by wider complaints about the rising cost of living and social and economic inequality. Piñera has declared a state of emergency, including overnight curfews, as some demonstrations have devolved into looting and arson. Authorities say 15 people have lost their lives so far amid clashes with riot police and chaotic scenes in damaged and burning buildings.
