Overview

In Chile, October 18, 2019 was not just any day: it marked a before and after in Chile's recent history. What was presented to the world as a spontaneous social outburst was actually the beginning of a carefully articulated operation to destabilize Chilean democracy. The mass evasions in the Santiago Metro were not simply acts of youth protest, but the first move in a strategy that included arson, looting, attacks on Carabineros and destruction of critical infrastructure. All of this was accompanied by a cultural and media narrative that justified, validated and even glorified violence.This book seeks to demonstrate, with solid arguments, documents, testimonies and critical analysis, that what Chile experienced was not a social awakening, but a covert coup. The radical left, the Frente Amplio, the Communist Party and sectors of socialism played a leading role in the construction of a narrative aimed at installing the idea that violence was legitimate, while systematically attacking authority, delegitimizing the Carabineros and capturing cultural and media spaces.
