The surviving and despised Constitution of 1980 considers the right to protest, a right understood as the instance of meeting and expressing common interests that are expressed by the marchers, without forgetting that said meeting must at all times be peaceful and without weapons. Thus were born the marches, banners and countless slogans that accompany the movement through the streets and symbolic places of the street left. Real siren songs and promises that sound good but are not necessarily achievable. Just remember the unfulfilled promise of education: “free and quality”. You yourself can exercise and remember other examples of the street petition. They are skillful from the story and the slogan in their lists of infinite and unfunded requests. They promise but they don't deliver.

In January of this year, communist embraces surrounded President Boric, who then declared: “Today that hug that we give each other here also continues to be an act of resistance and rebellion, because it shows that we are together and that being together we are much stronger to fight to build a more just and dignified Chile.”. The fight between communists and comrade Boric becomes eternal and a pact against powerful enemies. After two years in office, the government does not present great achievements or progress; The program is at least stuck (with low levels of compliance) after the great constituent defeat of the Octobrist pact (First Convention) and a legislature without majorities. The little achieved remembers the feat of Pyrrhus.

At times the government coalition (mostly PC and FA) enters into contradictions and internal tensions; They told us to have a different morality and to be above the politics of the transition agreements (they hate it), but governing requires more than good intentions and verbiage, it is always easier to destroy than to build. Others have not ruled out: moving forward without compromising on the “pending transformations.” That is why they return to the streets whenever necessary: are Senator Núñez's words so striking? No, let's see:

Recent history shows that the PC always keeps one foot on the street and another in social and political institutions; They have always resorted to mass agitation and blackmail called today subtly: "social pressure". If we go back to the october convention (overwhelmingly stopped by the popular majority), you will remember that at that time Patriarch Tellier called for “surround the convention” while they entertained us with corporeals and machitunes. If you go back a little more, you will remember that throughout October and November 2019 the PC felt very comfortable in the burning streets, with what they themselves called the “popular revolt”, in simple words, they waited for the fall of at least the government. on duty, none other than his current and powerful enemy: Piñera II.

The PC and the FA are passive accomplices of all the Octobrist violence and its consequences, to this day they continue to justify it and the goal was to obtain: “dignity.” That same PC did not reach the agreement for peace and a constitutional solution in the face of the blackmail of continuing to burn everything and a cornered executive. It is clear that the PC and the FA resorted to violent means to overthrow Piñera through “social pressure” or “the October uprising.”

The PC moves well in social institutions that from one moment to the next go into a recess (withdrawal) despite the existence of social problems in the face of which a striking silence appears in different areas of the country and in ministries, examples abound in: health , education and work. During their hug party they were clear in pointing out the milestones for the year 2024, a roadmap to make and impose changes beyond the institutional and social emergencies, which is why it cannot cause us so much surprise or novelty that Today they return to the streets to demonstrate through: “social pressure.”

 The communists and their grandchildren of the FA seek the street to resolve what they believe the right and the businessman stop and prevent in Congress and other bourgeois or patriarchal institutions. Without forgetting, the mere fact of opposing or refuting the PC is considered visceral anti-communism, an offense that reaches even President Boric himself who quickly supports the helpless Creole communism. The street reflects the popular demands that the PC embodies. Others in the FA like little leaders of the hammer and sickle jump in support of the need to resume the cultural battle and demonstrate in the streets. A clearly instrumentalized mobilization, yesterday called: “outbreak or revolt,” today is: “social pressure.”

For them, October 2019 (our red October) left lessons and learning beyond the seizure of institutional power, just as the song says: “the street is their place” and the PC “knows it well”, they have been occupying the streets since the penguins until they reach the key decision-making institutions: the legislative and executive. That's why they need the street.

The cadres, militants, sympathizers, close and distant to communism, are already warned of the next steps of the PC and its entourage. The next call during April aims to put pressure on: the tax and pension reform (and other points), given what they call the need for: “break the political tie and business blockade” in the points mentioned and in other pending ones, all of the above leads them to “reactivate the mobilization.” We are warned and warned. The second half of his own government considers counting on the street and exacerbating the contradictions. What a paradox, its closest international allies in the American neighborhood (Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba) are relentless when it comes to silencing, imprisoning and violently repressing social demonstrations and opposition discontent, it is to be hoped that this is not what awaits us in the future, meanwhile, with communism or to mass. Two questions at the end: Will comrade Boric march or take the megaphone? Will the PC surround the courts in the Jadue case?
