Violence.
“Violence is not the way”
They said when the turnstiles were broken.
And I agree, that’s violent.
But violent is also the way in which the families of the missing detained don’t know where the bodies of their loved ones are. Violent is the way in which the drought in Petorca had their causes identified in 2014 and the reform made was an incomplete project of the state.
Violent is the way in which Chile is the most unequal country in the OCDE, with a system “pro rich” where the taxes affect the poor severely more. Violent is the way in which the elders of 80 years have the highest suicide rate due to absence of prevention policies focused on the elderly.
Violent is the lack of resources, inputs and lack of dignity in public health. That Quintero’s youth must close the school year due to health problems after episodes of contamination. The sexual abuse of the Church, and the protection that the policy has given to the cases. That Carabineros of Chile confiscate fruit at fairs instead of disarticulating drug trafficking in neighborhoods.
Violent is the way our elders have to work even after their retirement because they can’t live otherwise.
Violent is that the Metro of Santiago cares more about broken swivels that people killing themselves in the train tracks.
Violent are the ones who provoke social inequality, not those who fight against them.
