First entry

Well, this is my first entry.
The first thing that I'm going to talk about is Hidroaysén.
Hidroaysén is a really polemic Hidroelectric proyect, that will be built in Patagonia. The centrals will be built in Baker river and also Pascua river.
This proyect was aproved on may 9th by government authorities. Since that day, hundreds of people had been manifesting their rejection to this proyect, by going to several parades against Hidroaysén.
Last friday, I went to one of this parades with Martín Loyola to express our rejection to the proyect, we marched from Plaza Italia to La moneda. The parade began around 7 and it ended around 9. It was pacific, we shouted and jumped and had a good time, but we also reflectioned about this proyect and how it will affect our country. After all of this, some people started throwing rocks at the police, so the disturbs began. The police started to chase people and throwing water and tear-bombs. We had to run because they didn't care for the people that weren't making disturbs, they repressed everybody, even people that wasn't on the parade.
After running for a while, we stopped by a Mcdonald's so we could catch our breath and drink a soda, but the disturbs keep going, and when we got out, the police throwed a bomb right outside of where we were. Yeah, it hurts. My eyes were bloodshot and I teared. It was hard to breath.
Then we walked a lot to get in the subway, because a lot of the stations were closed.
Though we had to ran and everything, it was a very nice experience, it was the first time that I went to this kind of parade and I'm proud of being there.
Hidroaysén is just unnecesary, it will destroy so many nature, and damage so many people, besides, the mayority is against it.
