6 anarchists arrested after police raid a squat in Chile.
Santiago de Chile.
> In the morning of September 26th, special forces of the police broke into
> a squatted house located downtown, and six people, including a compañero
> from Spain, have been detained. Police say that molotov bombs and all the
> stuff required to prepare them were found in the place. Empty bottles (who
> doesn't have empty bottles at home?), kerosene (some of the people were
> jugglers and of course did fire juggling), sawdust (used for beds that the
> [black] cats in the house had), and of course "subversive material":
> zines, posters, banners, books, and videos and printed instructives to
> make molotov bombs. 4 bombs already made were found, according to the
> local CSI, who were there too. All the four bombs were supposed to be used
> in the protest organized for that day by the Nacional Association of
> Teachers and High School students organizations.

> This is a intelligence operation directed by the Vicepresident himself
> together with the A.N.I. (National Agency of Intelligence), a quite dark
> institution that resembles the ones that operated during the fascist
> dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Of course, this is just one part of the
> operation, they have been filming during protests, investigating activist
> groups, infiltrating grassroots movements. For the part of the media, we
> suddenly start to hear and see on television that "anarchists" or
> "anarchic groups" are responsible for all kinds of destructive actions
> during protests. This year has been tough for the public image of
> anarchists in Chile. What used to be "infiltrators" in protests, are now
> identified as "anarchists", which is, at least in the mass media, new.

> "A network of anarchists, activists has been dismantled", said the General
> Director of Carabineros (Police). "We've seen this for a long time, [these
> people] breaking into authorized protests, with their faces covered and
> molotov bombs". Belisario Velasco, the Vicepresident said "intelligence
> operations are being developed by the Police and the Investigation Bureau
> and some houses where molotov bombs are being produced already identified
> and will be raided soon".
>
> President Bachelet was satisfied with all the operation. She said that the
> government is "going to do whatever is necessary to preserve the rights,
> not only of those who want to express themselves, but also of the ones who
> want to live in peace and quietly".
>
> Regarding the spanish kid, Velasco said that "once he serves the sentence
> that the court might give him, he will be expelled from the country".
>
> This is what progressive democracy looks like.

> Please send this news to all the people, organizations and radical news
