Im told me all laddie well thanks for joining us chiles president Sebastian Pinera says hes asked parliament to raise the minimum wage by around 15 percent in a further attempt to end the countrys worst unrest in decades the president also sais that police accused of human rights abuses will be pursued prosecuted with the same force as rioters and looters for weeks now the south American Country has been rocked by a protest against inequality. And as the w. s nichole furnished in the capitals found out this is grown into a social movement who support base is a lot larger than those who turn up at rallies. Its another day of protests in santiago but any ball isnt going he lives only a stones throw away from plus the epicenter of the countrys mass demonstrations but a couple of weeks ago he kicked off a different kind of mobilization a neighborhood gathering known as. We didnt think anyone would come and we were a bit pessimistic. But the turnout exceeded expectations. So we sat down analyze what had happened and what we hope the chile of the 21st century who would look like. But. The meeting soon grew too big for the park so today the neighbors are meeting at a local hostel some 80 people from all walks of life. This type of forum is not a New Invention in latin america the open could build oh dates back to colonial times as a communal gathering in response to emergencies or disasters and standing together in the face of adversity is still very much the essence of the could build are today. If we want a Better Future as much of a cliche as that might be we cant just think about ourselves we cant fall back into individual. We have to take care of each other this is bigger than ourselves for the builders are emerging all across chile these days but his grassroots assemblies they all have a common weakness. The big problem with the company is that they generate hope and that they lead people to think they are determining their own destiny. But really theyre only providing a platform for desires that can be taken into account but might as well not be and thats a problem. But at this could build you know in santiago nobody wants to believe that theyre just dreaming up their own version of utopia broken up in small task forces they draft a road map for their future work in order to make any of this happen the neighbors will have to get the government to listen how theyll go about that will certainly be worth a discussion during the next. Correspondent nic joins us now from santiago chile. Are people going to these kinds of democratic meetings because they are now too scared to take to the streets. Oh not at all this is for them the next step its taking the movement to another level a lot of the people who were at this could build oh do go to the protest marches in the streets so this is more of a complimentary action of civil disobedience so to say they go out to the streets to make their discomfort for many heard and then among themselves they sit down and work out ways to to build a better country the government has picked up on this by the way and is now setting up their own citizens assemblies but oddly enough some of the people i talked to at this could build oh said that theyre not ready yet to sit down with the government they 1st want to want to figure out what their demands are they want to build a Strong Community and then go and present these demands to the government when theyre ready for it ok so whats been happening in santiago today. Unsurprisingly more protests but today instead of bluff which is the most emblematic spot weve been seeing these these protests taken part. We have seen a lot of protests in the financial district which you can see right behind me a lot of people on social media were complaining about how plus they tell you were surging into a sort of carnival how the message was getting lost among all the unrest we were seeing so they wanted to hit the government where it hurts them the hardest or the worst in the economy so they went to the financial district and took their demonstrations there today and actually brought the neo liberal heart of the country as they called it to a standstill malls had to close down had to be evacuated and the traffic collapsed so it was effective in a way that they were they were seeking it to cause effect and this will most probably not be the last time we see them protesting their. President Sebastian Pinera has made this latest concession to the protest an increase in the minimum wage will that make these people any more likely to go home. Not really for many its too little too late hes been making these small concessions hes also been on a sort of Charm Offensive visiting victims of Police Brutality in the hospital giving loss of interviews but to many people here this is a tiny bandaid on a gaping wound they want structural changes in the country they want a new constitution they want to government that cares more for their their own well being and not as much about the economy so this increase in the minimum wage which by the way is is only about 60 euros is surely not going to to make the cut and keep these people from going out to the street and protesting.
