translated from Spanish: The “return of the day” in the eighth week: massive cultural demonstration in Plaza Italia

As every Friday since the social outburst in Chile began, Plaza Italia became the center of the demonstrations, where these eight weeks have made massive calls, like that of the million 200 thousand people a month and a half ago.
However, today’s demonstration, which began around 7 p.m., had a more cultural character, since at the frontis of Telefónica’s building, a mobile stage was installed for an artistic show led by Inti Illimani and the return of the concepción band , Los Bunkers, who had been separated since 2014, following a concert in Mexico.
This Friday, the mobilization has as its main focus the concert organized by the AFEP (Group of Relatives of Political Executioners), although protesters also gathered in the surrounding sectors of Plaza Italia.
During the day, the mayor of the Metropolitan Region, Felipe Guevara, referred to the activity, noting that it is not authorized. “Not because we didn’t want to, but because they didn’t ask for authorization,” so they couldn’t deliver security to attendees.
That did not matter, as the attendees began to enjoy the music of Inti Illimani around 6 pm, to give rise past 19 to the expected show of Los Bunkers, who started with “Song for Tomorrow” and closed after 20 hours with “Miño”.
After the show, AFEP took the stage to thank the call and to tell protesters to “keep fighting.”
