Just two days after the first anniversary of the social outbreak, one of the most remembered phrases is remembered in the framework of the protests that intensified as of October 18, 2019. On that occasion the former manager of the Metro, Clemente Pérez, gave to to appear his opinion regarding the string of demonstrations that had been generated in the underground transport, after the rise of 30 pesos in the passage. Pérez’s prediction was far from being correct, since one of the most powerful social movements in the country’s history was established.

“Cabros, this did not turn on. They are no more choros, they have not won the support of the population. Not even on Twitter where this type of movement is supposed to have more support, it really doesn’t have that much support. People are in another, the Chilean is much more civilized and the only thing I have seen is a great rejection of this type of attitudes because people have been greatly harmed. People who have been working all day and are getting on a Metro station and it is closed for this type of action, it causes them a nuisance, ”Pérez said in a 24-hour interview.

He also added that “I believe that this has already happened and I hope that the authorities, Carabineros and the Metro guards can better handle this type of situation. But it is true that it is quite unpublished, but let’s not say that it started. People have much more common sense and this has been a protest that did not catch on in the population ”.

As the months passed, this phrase was widely replicated on social networks and even the daughter of the aforementioned former Metro manager posed for a photo with a poster that read the remembered phrase “goats this did not turn on”, in the middle of a demonstration. Clemente Pérez himself uploaded that image on his Twitter account.
