This Thursday October 8th carry out a political meeting to the outskirts of the UMCE, ex pedagogic, in solidarity with the Mapuche cause and in repudiation to the repression that the Chilean State practices against this people.

A few days to fulfil  a new year from the arrival of Columbus to America, that for the west is supposed to be his discovery, a group of young people took the traffic to the outskirts of the UMCE to say that there is nothing to celebrate and a lot of what regret, from the arrival of the Spanish people to these homelands, in those which lived different ethnic groups and peoples, many of those which have been totally eradicated or assimilated  to the different states that were growing out through the years of conquest.

With canvases and placards they stopped the traffic for some minutes, until the bursting of the special forces of Chilean police, whom obliged to the demonstrators to fall back to the inside of the university campus, while from outside the Chilean police shot large quantity of tear gas, prompted to the bodies of the peoples that they found inside.

Passing a half and hour the calm turned to the sector, without registering persons under arrest nor wounded
