The Chilean police fired at the massive demonstration against the new government taxes on meat and killed 250 people. On that day, thousands of workers joined the rally by saying that this tax was a tax that the big producers had only raised to make more money, and in the end they turned to the president their demands, wrecking them down the road. The situation surpassed the police, so President Riesco called for urgent action and the orders of General Roberto Silva Renard, crushed the demonstration and committed a massacre. This mobilization is remembered as a meat strike, Red Week or Mitina de la Carne.
