I genuinely lost count of how many times I saw this headline this year.

Yeah, I went to another march at 18.30hs and it was HORRIBLE =/

Because "the time to protest is over" and now they aren't gonna allow more marches. So there are a lot of police officers on the streets.

Pffft, that's ridiculous.

I saw the latest reports of Piñera's popularity. It ain't pretty.

"Chile sets aside 4.4% of the country's GNP for education, less than the 7% recommended by Unesco."
