Translated from the Spanish by Alexandra Reed.

Translated from the Spanish by Alexandra Reed. Original: “El terrorismo del sur fue repetido sin pensar por los canales de televisión que construyeron de modo irresponsable la imagen de ingobernabilidad. Los Gobiernos de la Concertación, siempre temerosos de lo que les dijera el Diario El Mercurio, asumieron en la práctica que se trataba de terrorismo y aplicaron la famosa y maldita ley. Así la espiral ha seguido.”

Translated from the Spanish by Alexandra Reed.
