translated from Spanish: Social teluric movement growing in magnitude: Protesters defy military in the middle of state of emergency

Santiago is in a state of emergency, with the military on the streets, but this Saturday – for the second day in a row – social tension has been on the rise.
From noon, spontaneous pans began in the streets of different points of the city, such as Santiago centro, Uñoa, Providencia and even the eastern sector of the capital. But what has further complicated the picture is the incidents between protesters and military personnel. This, because even places like Plaza Baquedano and Plaza de Maipú, where people have gathered to touch the saucepans arrived in military to dislodge the sector.
Similar situations have been repeated in various parts of the capital, with citizens facing military personnel, with images on social media that have viralized from troops pointing their service weapons in a threatening tone.
In parallel, new boat engines of public transport are started to be registered. In the sector of Vicuña Mackenna there are already 6 buses on fire.
Meanwhile, the Government continues to stand in La Moneda in a Committee of Ministers headed by the President in search of responses to the crisis, and convened for this afternoon a meeting the mayors and parliamentarians of the Metropolitan Region.
Despite the climate of tension, there is no change of libretto, and the President opened the Committee of Ministers convened as a matter of urgency at La Moneda, insisting on the discourse of criminalization in the face of the crisis and urged “some political forces that support vandalism”. Without addressing the issue of inequity that explains the substance of the citizen protest, he added that “we are developing a plan to mitigate the impact that the rise of the Metro will have on the most vulnerable sectors and the middle class.”
The problem for La Moneda is that the protest in addition to Santiago, has spread to regions, such as in Viña del Mar, Valparaíso, Limache, Talca and Concepción where the saucepans have also been felt.
In addition, the next few hours will not remain quiet, because the call is to repeat the saucepans at 21 hours, under the slogan “outside the militias of our city”.
