translated from Spanish: The day after the 8 M: Government is turning the jacket and passed to criticise the call to feel “proud” of the massive demonstration

The massive manifestation of women around the 8 M was described as historic by nationwide. Only in Santiago, it brought together more than 300 thousand people, and the figure increases to 800 thousand nationwide.
Despite being seen as something positive throughout the country, from the Government not they were very receptive to the call of last Friday. In fact, the same President Sebastián Piñera had pointed out that you strike scheduled for yesterday “is not necessary because their cause is assumed by our Government”.
However, this Saturday changed his address, noting that “women want and deserve full and total equality of rights, duties, and dignity. We will have zero tolerance with all kind of harassment, rape, abuse and mistreatment”.
“No one has the right to use for other purposes a cause so noble and so just as the who yesterday expressed with strength, joy and peaceful women in Chile, of which I am deeply proud”, added.
Like Pinera, the Minister of women and gender equality, Isabel Plá, had also said days before the departure of the 8 M that “seems that it is a call for a sector of the opposition with an agenda that exceeds women’s issues”.
Today, his speech changed: “massive and peaceful March 8M shows that cause for full equality of rights for women calls for majority of Chilean and crosses our society. Yesterday realized significant advances in a challenging agenda, which installs this cause in the heart of the Government’s priorities”, he said on his Twitter account.
