The pilgrimage advanced along the main artery of Santiago to Morandé Street, on one side of La Moneda. In that place, the Chilean president Gabriel Boric and several of his ministers of State joined the mobilization. “Today the relatives of the political detainees who disappeared, tortured and executed by the Dictatorship participated in a march in which after a long time it was authorized passing through Morandé 80,” said the president through his social networks.

From that same door, the body of Salvador Allende was carried out by the military after the coup d’état was carried out. “I proudly participated with them because I am convinced that thanks to their tireless fight for truth and justice we are here today.

While, Boric and his ministers joined the pilgrimage, those who were prevented from participating in the tribute to the victims of the dictatorship clashed with Carabineros in the vicinity of the place.

The militarized police used their water cannons, launched tear gas and also pepper spray against protesters. “The repression that has been experienced in this march is the express order of the Ministry of the Interior, it is the order of this Government.

Repression is excessive for everyone,” Totoro concluded.

For Victor Hugo Robles, renowned Chilean journalist and historical activist of sexual diversity, it is “a shame that human rights organizations, and particularly the Communist Party, have plotted this trap against the people mobilized to allow the delirious President Boric to join using and abusing human rights demands.
