Reprehensible aggression by the Carabineros in a peaceful demonstration. Now they repress TENS health officials who ask for recognition and labor dignity, while in the counts they protect march from rejection. This is the double standard of the Government and Carabineros #NationalShame https://t.co/xXEWGbrdas
