There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in...
The causes of the current “crisis” are:
1, Rising transport fares, (a legacy of Pinochet)
2. Rising cost of living (a legacy of Pinochet)
3. Income inequality (a legacy of Pinochet)
4. Privatisation (a legacy of Pinochet)
5. Political corruption (a legacy of Pinochet)
6. Neoliberal policies from Pinochet's era Constitution (a legacy of Pinochet)
While the first two may arguably be caused by other factors, the last four were caused almost entirely by Pinochetistas and their love affair with neoliberalism.
For those who may not know this about Chilean culture, it s very classist. And the wealthiest classes supported Pinochet because he made them money. In many respects, they still support Pinochetistas who are in power now, and for the same reason.
