THIS IS UNEDITED AND RAW FROM SOME ONE IN THE AREA
Trouble Hits Aysen Via Our man in Chile.Patagonia , Chile , South america.Since about two weeks people in Puerto Aysen , have been into a strike due high gas prices (abt 1100 CLP a liter thats about 2.28 USD per liter thats about 10.9USD per gallon) ,also they are facing poor healthcare due the lack of specialists , high wood prices, geographical isolation and a dam that will destroy the wonderful patagonian landscape . They managed to take the only bridge that leads to the town , the local airfield , and all the local ports , situation has turned worse in the last 10 days , looting has taken place , there is a food shortage in the area , and also there are no utilities , no power , no phone lines , no fuel due the blockage of the ports and the bridge , the goverment has sent the police special force to try to clear the bridge , there are reports that the police is using teargas , and steel ball shotgun ammo .
Also there is a unconfirmed report of military helicopters flying over the city , and that the local hospital has been taken over by the army and police , and they are arresting all the people that has gun injuries . There is a report that a police station has been attacked by angry villagers .
Meanwhile the left wing is trying to take advantage of the situation blamming the actual goverment and trying to team up with the villagers , the gov’t has managed the healthcare issues but power and energy are still an issue for the Aysen people .
