Fotos del jueves 22 de diciembre de 2011, en el cual estudiantes planeaban marchar desde Plaza Italia hacia Los Heroes por la Alameda. Intento que fue inmediatamente disuelto por fuerzas especiales de Carabineros, cercando plaza Italia y el frontis del Teatro de la Universidad de Chile.

Finalizada esta concurrencia, grupos aislados se trasladaron por el Parque Bustamante hacia el sur, entre Santa ISabel e Irarrázabal, enfrentándose a ratos con Carabineros.

Finalmente no se pudo culminar con toda la fuerza necesaria este año de marchas y movilizaciones estudiantiles.

Photos from past Thursday, December 22, 2011, in which students planned to march from Plaza Italia to “Los Heroes” of the Alameda.

This attempt was immediately dissolved by special police forces, encircling Plaza Italia and the front of the Universidad de Chile theater.

Once this reunion was disolved, isolated groups went of to “Parque Bustamante” moving south, between Santa Isabel and Irarrázabal, clashing at times with the police.

At the end it wasn’t possible to finish this year with the full strenght neccesary to keep the students demands and this citizenship movement on the mind of the people, adding expectation to the way this still-going movement will develop from here to the future.

Marcha CUT, 25 de agosto.

This is a series of photos taken on August 25th at the march to conmemorate the end of the two day national strike called by the “CUT” (Central Unitaria de Trabajadores) a multi-sindical organization.

Although the total numbers of participants vary depending on the estimates of the CUT (600.000 nation wide), government and police (175.000) , it was for sure a massive concurrence backed up by the Student Movement (who have been protesting for more than 3 months now) and various civil organizations.

Even though most of the march was held in a pacific way, which culminated in a cultural act, some masked rioters showed up with intentions of provoking the police, damaging public and private property and, in some cases, even attacking the pacific protesters that were trying to restrain them.
