Thousands March in Santiago, Chile, Against Austerity on New Year's Day
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Chile, thousands poured into the streets of the capital Santiago to
protest economic inequality and to commemorate the 26 people who have
been killed during the ongoing demonstrations. This is Sandra, one of
the Chilean protesters.

Sandra: "We came because we have been protesting for months. The
government has not listened to us, pretended not to know, and have
evaded us. They have done unconstitutional things. And we come to
'celebrate,' in quotes, because it is not a celebration. We came to
commemorate all those who have been injured and killed by this
government."
