In my opinion, the original cause, the initial deposit of social anger of the power that we could see last October 18 and the following days, which was able to cause a social outbreak of the magnitude of the Chilean, sudden and extended to the entire national territory, is precisely this group of young people from this last quintile, to
whom the country abandoned to a competition with the mass of immigrants, taking away the hope of ascending, since being immersed
class, which does not have this problem of competition with immigrants, something that, in a certain way, denatured the claim of the lowest quintile, and it lost focus. It is clear that the protest of the middle class for inequality, is an abstract, ideological protest, totally di erent from the protest of the last quintal, which is vital, that it is an extreme reaction to a situation of brutal deterioration, and that is not ideological. On the contrary it is extremely disruptive because of the position occupied by the agents inequality, which is a serious defect of our society, was mounted above this vital reason, and eclipsed it, and this because

Thus, this

This group was
beginning to
live an interesting moment, because there was a shortage of human resources, and it was in optimal conditions to take advantage of the waterfall, typical of the neoclassical economy. This segment abruptly experienced the competition of immigration, which for a low salary accepts jobs previously carried out by that national group, taking away expectations and job positions and massively breaking into the services o ered by the community.
It is true that this initial outbreak in Chile was subsequently added to the emerging middle
