More than 20,000 people including workers and students marched through the streets of the capital in what was termed a March for Education in Latin America. Chile. 24th November 2011

El gobierno de Piñera prohibió a los estudiantes y trabajadores marchar por el centro de Santiago en el marco de la marcha latinoamericana por la educación gratuita, a cambio autorizó un recorrido por una estrecha avenida, con las condiciones idóneas para reprimir la marcha en cualquier minuto si los asistentes no respetaban las reglas del juego impuestas.
Ciento de policías se apostaron en las calles colindantes en actitud abiertamente provocadora hacia los marchantes y profesionales de la prensa que realizaban su labor en la inmediaciones. Contantes amenazas por megáfonos entonó la policía si los manifestantes osaban tratar de romper el trazado impuesto por el gobierno.
A pesar de la represión latente cerca de 20000 personas se dieron cita y recorrieron las calles marchando con determinación y alegría por el derecho inalienable a la educación gratuita y de calidad en el continenete.
La marcha finalizó en medio de la represión desatada por parte de la policía que ni siquiera permitió que la última sección de la columna llegara al punto final del recorrido, un número indeterminado de personas fue detenida y varios miles afectados por los gases y el agua con gas pimienta de los carros lanzaaguas. Los camarógrafos y fotoreporteros fueros hostigados contantemente por la policía y mucho de ellos fueron mojados por los camiones lanzaaguas.
