I chose this photograph because I love all that it means. It was taken in October last year, in the "social outbreak" or popular revolt in Chile. It shows "Plaza Italia" (or Plaza de la Dignidad, called like this by people), full of people, with fire and smoke around them. This revolution started because Chilean people were had enough of the injustices, bad education, nad health service, low pensions, unmet basic needs and bad quality of life in general. I think that it is very important that people express their opinion and fight for a better life because our government is useless and corrupt. I really hope that in the future, after this pandemic, the revolt comes back stronger to get real changes like the approval for a new constitution. The police repress people and their liberties, and I think that this makes me so angry because in dictatorship, my grandfather was arrested and was a tortured political prisoner. I just hope that never happens again.
