Translate in English. (CV stands for Camila Vallejo) Camila Vallejo Dowling is not a rebel. That is a created image to market the student protests. Given the inaccurate and outrageously false statements she has issued over the past few months there are a few conclusions to be made. "Rebel" is a wholly incurate depiction about her because she is just about gaining notoriety and attention to serve her ego. Camila Vallejo has been heard talking about being like a "celebrity" and that she will get rich from this because corporations will wants to "sell" her "rebel" image. As the president of the university, Camila Vallejo started out speaking for the student movement but it seems this has taken over her ego as she has grossly misrepresented herself and the movement. She has repeatedly bragged about being famous and this seems to be her motivation. A serious revolutionary does not engage in such self promotion. A true agent of change does not make grandiose and delusional claims about serious political and social issues and themselves. Shame. All she seems to say is: "Look at me, look at me, take my picture, take my picture!" Camila has spent alot of time getting her picture taken and very little time organizing or saying anything truthful. Her own self promotion speaks for itself. Regarding the Chile student movement: Camila has taken credit for many ideas that were not hers and that is not fair. It is important to speak out because it isnt fair and she is hurting people rather than helping them as her interest is not for the people. This is not the behavior of a true leader. There are pictures of CV everywhere and she has worked tirelessly to promote her image. But that is all it is, image. Behind the scenes it is a different story. CV does not organize the student movement by herself and does not even really do anything except be the talking head while everyone else does all the work. The UK Guardian article and Camila have made a mockery out of the Chilean people and hard working organizers who are simply trying to create real substantial change in Chile's government.
Regarding the grossly false UK Guardian article "2 Day Shut Down of a City" - The Facts: Not that there's anything wrong with the facts presented here, it is simply to point out the hypocrisy as CV has gone on long enough issuing false statements. Camila Vallejo is a geography student and grew up with 2 parents in a middle class household and went to private school.in other words, by Chile standards she is a rich woman who has never stuggled for anything except the struggle of seeking attention and tireless self promotion. She has never even had to work a day in her life. The UK Guardian article about "a rebel" shutting down" a city for 2 days may make for a catchy "story" to commodify and sell, however, the Guardian article is 100% false and must issue a retraction. Camila Vallejo did not "shut down a city." That is an outrageous incorrect statement. While it is a good thing to speak out and try to make change the facts are that CV has turned into a fraud who makes outrageous claims about things that are not true and it is time to get back to reality. The statement Camila Vallejo issued about the Chile protests, "It is always the youth who always make the first move [...] now the older generations have joined us in this fight." is catagorically false. This statement illustrates unintelligence, ignorance and ego based on nothing more than her grand delusions. On the contrary, the Revolutionary Chilean Protests have been an on-going series of protests led by large labor unions, professors and teachers over the span of many years. It is the students who have contributed and have joined in. The Chilean protest movement led by The Workers United Center of Chile (CUT) over the span of many years has created substantial change in economic, educational and social policy reform and may lead the way for historical constitutional reforms. August 24-25 2011 was a historical event as it marks the first 2 day labor union strike in Chile's history. The fact is that the 2 day shut down of the city Santiago in Chile was organized by The Unitary Central for Workers (CUT). CUT is a labor union made up of over 80 unions. These unions had been working and organizing since May to prepare for the historical strike. How grossly ridiculous for the Guardian to claim that one person "shut down" a city when in fact it took the hard work of over 80 Chilean Labor Unions. And it is equally grossly ridiculous for CV to claim the credit for such a serious social and political event. According to CUT, at least 600,000 people participated in the historical two-day labor strike. The 2 day strike led by Chiles most powerful unions and launched the nationwide strike on August 24th. Chiles largest labor confederation, the Central Workers Union (CUT), organized and planned for demonstrations, marches and protests with the support of politicians, citizens and more than 80 of Chiles most important social organizations and unions. With powerful unions like the National Association of Public Employees (ANEF) and unionized miners at the state-owned Codelco copper company vowing to participate, Finance Minister Felipe Larran predicted that the strikes cost the nation upwards of US$200 million. While previous governments have faced one-day national strikes, it was the first 48-hour national strike in Chile's history.
