First Arson Attack of the Year at Barros Arana Boarding School
March 26, 2023
On Thursday, March 9, the first arson attack took place at the Barros Arana Boarding School (INBA), a high school which last year was quite active in the dynamics of street struggle against the Carabineros (COP) and an adjacent military regiment. The presence of masked students exceeded 40, responding to the call of “Mochilazo” along Alameda to exert pressure against Boric’s government.
Colonel Pedro Alvarez Ortega of the Central Santiago Prefecture commented: “There were Molotov bombs thrown and incendiary barricades set up (…) Between 25 and 30% were white overalls. We have no information regarding any damage to the interior, only what I have just commented, we are coordinating with the Army and also with the school’s directors”.
A banner was displayed in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito: “Inba 2o23. End to the 41 bis regime. Insurrectional solidarity”.
