(en) Chile, Libertarian Students Front FEL - Declaration Libertarian Left to call for mobilization of August 21, 2014 (ca, pt)

[machine translation]

The people of Chile goes back to the streets to demand real changes in the educational 
field and the construction of a new Public Education System. That's why as Libertarian 
Left turn to speak out in support of the demands of the popular movement, which has 
claimed by the street free public education, quality and without profit, and all those 
social rights that have taken from us. ---- We see in the government of the New Majority 
has weakened the idea of fundamental reforms, as promised during the presidential 
campaign. By contrast, logic has imposed consensus with conservatives in their own party 
and right, promoting cosmetic changes and no transformers. This has meant that the New 
Majority has had to deploy forces to co-opt the students' demands and subordinate Movement 
and the whole social field, to meet the "new agreements" reached with the Right and 
entrepreneurship.

We welcome the work of students mobilized across the country who, through spaces as 
Confech national organization, are the true architects of the only concrete progress 
gained from the student movement and not from the program of the ruling party: the repeal 
of DFL2. This development, while opening the opportunity to democratize educational 
campuses, the student movement puts the challenge of building spaces that enhance the 
participation of students and workers in the system.

This example shows that the transformative reforms can only boost organized student 
movement, which has shown willingness to dialogue, mobilization and consequently to social 
demands. If the government wants to push through a transformative agenda and overcome the 
blockade of the conservative right, entrepreneurship and self-New Majority, has no option 
to generate a co-legislative process with the student movement. His interference and 
resolution must be central to any real change that the government wants to encourage.

Welcome and we join this national mobilization for education this August 21, with the 
conviction that any reform you want to drive from the institutions shall be the central 
actor popular movement as a whole, otherwise only respond to the interests elite.
