Social Movements in Chili:
Some explications about the low electoral´s participation in our country and together with this the arise of the social movements could be explanied from politics theory´s Schmitt.
This Author say that the politics´s concept include the notion about conflict necessarily. Because the divison between the friends and the enemies, is the principal characteristic of politics. This concept note the distance among the people from diferents countries or inside of own country.
From this situacion is possible to explain the role of the social movements like an actor that dispute the decisional power of the State about social orden and its organization. Besides this actor show the ability of to be a real alternative and promoter of changes possible to realize. This situacion it turn in a potencial enemy of the State, making conflicts in our society. Arising the genuine politics activity.
In this way is possible to explain the low electoral´s participation. Because the feeling´s population is that the politicians couldn´t resolve our social´s problematics and they don´t represent common interest. For this reason the people choise don´t participe in the tradicional democratic´s process. This not meaning apolitical nature, only lack of trust in our poltics system and the option that we can defend our demands in a "informal way". . .
Protesting and defending our human rights!!
