I think that's exactly what Piñera was trying to say early on, when he said Chile was under attack. Unfortunately his public speaking skills leave a lot to be desired, so it was interpreted as the Chilean people being the enemy. Over the weekend I noticed he said the worst of the rioting is over:


I cringed when I read this. If you're still in Santiago, did this actually trigger more rioting?

It's a Friday Evening Activity.. the Protesters congregate and later some of the participants attack the Carabineros and loot some stores nearby.
In the last 70 days 15,000 pymes were looted and ransacked throughout the country , causing considerable loss of employment.

But he said precisely that or more like “we, the rich, are under atack”.

Very interesting, I had not heard "the rich" part before. I guess that is similar to when Piñera's wife said, shortly after the protests began, that they have to 'begin sharing their privileges' with the rest of the Chileans. That statement illustrates the mindset the controlling families have!

If you remove the word Begin.. changes slightly the meaning, becomes " We have to share our privileges" which is the correct thing to do!

Piñera's wife said we are under attack by aliens,.. Her statement was severely criticized , however no one knows YET who planned in advance and executed the burning of 25 subway stations at the same time..? Requires vast manpower , materials, Chemicals, and a budget not available to High School students? Local or Foreign financing?

Most of the burned Stations are in the low income sectors, thus creating great inconvenience for low income workers. The subway was the backbone of their means of transportation!! Hundreds of buses were torched also. Lines for buses were out of hand..!
 
No doubt this is a foreign planned and financed operation, they need Chile to go left same as Argentina since Brazil is a lost cause for now......
