A NEW MILESTONE MULTISECTORIAL

As suggested in the previous editorial, the new composition of the dominant bloc, is 
actually producing changes in the political climate of the country. On the one hand, we 
have a historic right that is unable to rearrange a coherent political project that allows 
you to unite the various political expressions that comprise the contrary, the political 
fragmentation lived during his last government (Pi?era) and disarmament suffered after 
losing the presidential elections last year, this causes it to split between hardness and 
stupidity of the UDI and RN critical collaboration of dialogue shown towards the 
government of the New Majority: just enough to see the positions of Carlos Larra?n and the 
new "renewal" policy led by Cristi?n Monckeberg, or integration of deputy Gaspar Rivas to 
cross parliamentary group for a new Constituent Assembly led by PC. In any case, "the 
opposition", while right-wing politics in the country history expression is "straight" 
decaying.

Moreover, the set of installed reforms in these first 100 days in office, are being 
challenged by a number no less organized sectors of the working class, students, and 
residents and settlers, who have followed despite this climate, mobilized, although with 
less intensity. This is important because we must not forget that these reforms aim 
primarily to rebuild a political context of stability and governance, seeking to build 
above the consensus and support of the population for social cohesion things came 
crumbling : the neoliberal imaginary. This is how the New Majority, categorically 
reaffirmed his government project, the primary criteria for foreign investment in the 
country continue to hold, are reliability and stability of the institutional framework of 
the state. And to achieve this goal, they are promoting changes or reforms to support this 
strategic vision of governance for the period, without breaking for any reason, the frames 
match made in recent decades in the neoliberal pact with the core countries and the region 
. In this political scenario, the PC becomes a central element in both process and manages 
to contain the "center", an important sector of the popular movement, thereby generating a 
social muscles support the current ruling bloc. Still, partial and tied reforms are 
conditioned and anchored on one side by the economic scenario in the last monetary policy 
report of the Central Bank (Monetary Policy Report) is hardly auspicious: the growth this 
year will be between 2.5 and 3.5% and an overall decline in investment is forecast. But 
the most disturbing fact for the government is that the mining industry, and from last 
year began to decline, and yet no signs of improvement, unless you solve the serious 
energy situation that presents the country. Therefore maneuverability government could 
strengthen in the context of a slowing economy, where copper does not rebound. Despite 
this, the situation is not critical, nor should eventually affect the social situation of 
the country.

Moreover, the set of the popular movement, and by now most dynamic sector, student, 
follows its own political agenda, trying against the grain through the mobilization, 
install and play in the social environment, a proposal for educational reform contrary 
sustained by the powerful in Parliament. In this regard, it is interesting to think that 
by the time the student movement is the "actor" that can continue enabling the possibility 
of developing a context of continuous struggle, trying to shield the popular field of 
advancement of reformism, complex and necessary task for the stage.

Meanwhile, in the world of the workers, after starting the year with strong port 
demonstrations, and recent conflicts FENASIPEC (Peonetas and drivers of Coca-Cola) and 
class sectors workers Transantiago ( they tried to carry out a strike on July 3, which did 
not meet expectations due to employer intimidation), the feeling that prevails, is still 
missing, more trade union and projection of it, allowing my articulating the idea of a 
movement of workers. Indisputable to raise and sustain the profound changes that need 
working people need. That is why initiatives such as the National Coordinator of not more 
AFP, sectoral joints that are deployed in different corners of the country, such as union 
network Atacama, and other humble and sincere political-union efforts, such as the Front 
workers Ernesto Miranda (FTEM) are necessary in order to build and politically matured a 
line break with the pattern, into the world of work.

On another note, we reiterate the need for progress in the articulation of the 
revolutionary left, primordial step to attract people into the field a social force for 
change. For this task, we must create channels and spaces for dialogue, and especially 
construction, so as to mobilize social forces of change that requires our class. So, we 
united, we fight to regain our natural resources, to conquer usurped social rights or 
denied, and all the elements that are gravitating to achieve the institutional breakdown 
of the neoliberal bloc, central strategy of the period, which can only be deployed from a 
constituted social web where multisectorality the popular field, rendered from direct 
action on a mass basis, more joint and organized revolutionary left intended action may 
achieve disrupt the order of the powerful. In this sense, a little over a year of 
unemployment multisectoral June 26, we must draw lessons from this experience interesting.

Before concluding, we dedicate this issue to Marco Antonio Cuadra, transport union leader, 
died after immolate, in protest against the company that was operating. This issue is 
dedicated to him and his work colleagues and the union, and of course his family.

Marco Antonio Cuadra you are present in our struggle
