Young, beautiful, brave. Three
words that seem appropriate to describe Camila Vallejo, 23-year-old
Communist Party member who also chaired the bond Chile Universidad de
Chile students.
Vallejo
has six months to lead millions of students in the largest protest
since last 20 years in Chile, demanding President Sebastián Piñera
conservative-leaning backwards.
"For
years, young children have been fed Chilean neo-liberal governance that
emphasizes consumerism and private ownership. There is no empathy for
others," he said.
"This
movement helps our youths Chile reached a dignified state government,
the opposite of the current administration," said Vallejo, as published
CBS News. Girl born 28 April is known vocal sued chaotic world of education in Chile is judged highly unfavorable to most people.

commitments, making it more freely. We are taking the first step, but
we are not alone because of the generation above us also support us," he
said.
