Hello to all! Today I going to talk about a photo that I took some weeks ago, specifically at 2015. It's a picture of a sign with the face of Rodrigo Avilés, showing support to him and to his family. I took it during a student’s movilization in the night. I loved that movilization because the most people marched with something illuminated (candle, torch, etc). That day, the news said that around 80.000 people assisted to the student’s movilization, while the Confederation of Chile Students (CONFECH about the spanish initials) said that 100.000 marched from Plaza Italia to República Metro Station.
I like this photo because it means a lot of things. When Rodrigo marched on Valparaíso streets during the President of Republic’s public account on May 21th, he was injured by policial forces, and there was a lot of controversy about it. I like this picture because it shows movement, it shows that we, the students, are not comfortable with the situations that are happening in our country, and we can organize ourselves to try to make a change. It also shows a reality of repression that should not happen in this country that calls itselfs “under the democracy”. I hope you all like this picture as much as I like it, and thank you for reading.
Thanks for reading this post, The Chilean education is not sold, it defends!
