MayDay in Chile [2017]

Santiago, Chile – Two marches marked the first of May in Chile’s capital Monday. A permitted march was organized by Chile’s national association of labor unions, la CUT, while an unpermitted “classist and combative” march was organized by independent unions as well as communist, socialist and anarchist groups. A similarly divided Mayday played out last year in Santiago as well as in other Chilean cities. Originally published by Unicorn Riot May 4th, 2017.
