(en) Chile, Libertarian Students Front FEL Statement of reject evil reportage called "X-ray to student groups" (ca, pt)

[machine translation]

By this statement, as Libertarian Students Front reject evil reportage called "X-ray to 
student groups" - delivered during the main news on Channel 13 just last 09/08/14, as its 
ambiguous content establishes a false relationship between the actions of hooded and the 
Student Movement, tending to criminalize the latter. In this regard, we declare: ---- 1 As 
we made the same day of the attack on the Metro Military School, we reiterate our 
rejection of this type of action that endangers the lives of thousands of people and 
generates a climate of fear with which the media reference - belonging to large economic 
groups - contribute. ---- 2 The report begins: "Anarchists who are now in the eye of all 
inquiries by the explosions at stations The Dominicans and Military School" and 
immediately invited to view the log of hooded, "most linked to the secondary and 
university groups student movement, perfect for radicalization "hideout. 's Student 
Movement is linked to the actions of individuals who have placed explosives in the last 
hour, which categorically reject and deny them all, since violent action is part of our 
political line.

3 We note that the mention of our organization and interviews, made three weeks ago , 
Sebastian Aylwin (Autonomous Left) and Diego Medina (founder of Collective Action 
Libertarian activist and member of FeL) are isolated and mounted in the middle of 
decontextualized images and misrepresent the contents. assessed as serious lack of 
journalistic ethics that colleagues have been interviewed for a story on "student groups" 
and not on the origin of radical groups such as the "report" is introduced and the website 
says www.13.cl . The author journalist reporting material used makes three weeks with a 
different respondents reported aforementioned interest.

4 While the FeL is mentioned as a group that tries to distance himself from the stigma of 
violence, we see something of intellectual forgery at the time that our organization is 
displayed during a 2013 demonstration In this picture, the image is extended with a 
partner a scarf covering his face. The selection of video file that we do not think that 
was naive, given the background of the "story" is totally trend by establishing a link 
between our organization and the hood . The red and black headscarf is a symbol of the 
identity of our organization and is received by each member when you enter it. There is no 
way a hood nor a tool for driving wildly, as suggested by the "story".

5 In the list of secondary groups, mentioned the Libertarian Collective Action, where one 
of its members is clear that a space for discussion and, while supporting actions such as 
strikes and sockets, violently do not like throwing petrol bombs or sprayed with benzine 
reporters. However, this also . remains decontextualized and followed by images that do 
not support the idea, but contradict Then the collected material responds to two different 
things: a) on one hand, the act of groups that were involved in explosions the last days, 
and b) the composition of the student organizations that reject violence and, as 
respondents say, are organized against a political class that rules without society , 
which is not to say that violence is used by . means believe that the hodgepodge of 
issues is not accidental but has a handling and intentionality behind: criminalize.

6 As an organization composed of students from different races, including the area of 
communications, justifiably reject clutter resulting report said: in a day where the 
country is shocked by the explosion in Las Condes, the duty of the media is order and 
reassure the public, do not mix issues they suspect as online. This can not be based on 
suspicion, but in contrast, accurate and rigorous materials . Moreover, the notice must 
comply with a role that today have abandoned all means: must link made with a context, 
which must be true unmounted and not based on a suspicion. Report a fact not only should 
look the audience learn something, but it should also make clear, objective totally 
removed from the broadcasted by Channel 13 this week.

7 Our organization, active and relevant member along with other groups of the Student 
Movement, joins the call to denounce through CNTV Channel 13 for the irresponsibility 
demonstrated, while We denounce directory channel directly, calling them to clarify the 
issue and call the appropriate apologies.
