Chile endures violent night amid nationwide strike

Students and workers clash with riot police during a 48-hour national strike – the first to hit Sebastian Pinera’s government, convened by the largest workers union in the South American country with some 780,000 members.

The reform protest, spurred by the education demands, will also include hospitals and emergency services, whose personnel are expected to only attend emergency shifts during the strike. Union officials also said taxi drivers and an association of truck drivers had joined the industrial action.

Marches and rolling demonstrations by students demanding far-reaching education reforms and dismissing the government’s latest plan to resolve the weeks-old crisis have continued for months now.

As political and social protests grip the Middle East, are growing in Europe and a riot exploded in north London this weekend, here’s a sad truth, expressed by a Londoner when asked by a television reporter: Is rioting the correct way to express your discontent?

“Yes,” said the young man. “You wouldn’t be talking to me now if we didn’t riot, would you?”

The TV reporter from Britain’s ITV had no response. So the young man pressed his advantage. “Two months ago we marched to Scotland Yard, more than 2,000 of us, all blacks, and it was peaceful and calm and you know what? Not a word in the press. Last night a bit of rioting and looting and look around you.”
