A month after the murder by a fascist bastard during the march to the general cemetery, propaganda in memory of the anti-authoritarian vegan comrade Alonso Verdejo.
"We vindicate you in this way as you would have liked, always insurrectionist, eager for illegality, decorating the streets and trains of the city with combative slogans.
Lover of the street struggle, a comrade in solidarity in multiple anarchist initiatives..
We will always remember you in our black hearts.
Alonso Verdejo Bravo, present in every strike against power. Our revenge will be terrible!"

51 YEARS SINCE THE COUP: Compañero Alonso Verdejo killed by fascist during march to the General Cemetery
From La Zarzamora
September 9, 2024
This Sunday, during the Pilgrimage to the General Cemetery in Santiago, a man, later identified as Patricio Salerick Villafaña Juica, who was seen leaving a carabineros picket shouting that he was “contra marcha”, stabbed three people in the back, one of them was the anti-authoritarian vegan comrade Alonso Verdejo, 26 years old, who remained seriously injured in the abdomen and back, dying a few hours later at the San José hospital. The attacks by fascist groups or individuals protected by the repressive forces are increasingly common, the legitimization of the fascist discourse in the media, the political and repressive complicity, generates them shelter to act, the truth is that they sporadically murder comrades and our coordination and radicalization of self-defense is increasingly urgent.
Video records manage to capture how Alonso Verdejo is cowardly stabbed by the fascist, who was dressed in lead and holding a knife that he was hiding with something dark (it seems to be a jacket or bag). Accounts of the attendants, affirm that this man, with evident intention of attacking the people of the demonstration, kept himself between a picket of carabineros shouting that he was a “counter-marcher.” He finally wounded two people and killed Alonso.
The murders in the commemorations of the 11th, which previously have been at the hands of the carabineros of Chile, as in the case of comrade Claudia Lopez, today are being executed by fascists who take refuge among the police and their cars. Apparently it is easier for them to use other useful fools for these attacks, (commonly exalted fanatics, unthinking and servile), instead of continuing to get into trouble an institution that has risen from the ashes, thanks to a great strategy of media manipulation.
But who are they? are they paid? are they or were they pacos? These are questions that arise in this scenario, however, what is concrete is that we are in front of fascist civilians, who in groups or under the protection of the police, cowardly attack comrades who attend and participate in the marches.
This fact is no longer isolated, in July 2018, three women were stabbed during the march for free abortion. In 2022 Francisa Sandoval, communicator of signal 3 of La Victoria, was murdered in front of Meiggs street in Estación Central, by Marcelo Naranjo, who shot in full view and patience of the police. Students who were protesting had already been attacked in the same place.
The assassinations of Macarena Valdés and Bau have proven it. The ultra-right and the Chilean Nazism have henchmen, the landowner sends the foreman and the latter sends the tenant to do the dirty work, the latter goes to jail after a good agreement with the landowner. But the poor fascists are also a reality, who, lost in their nationalist and religious discourses, can take up a weapon to attack, driven by the declarations they see daily on TV and in all the communication channels of power.
The assassination of Alonso and the repression of power marked the pilgrimage of this 2024, but there is still September, and the territorial exits will leave the real account before such cowardly attacks to the memory of the assassinated and to the life of Alonso. SELF DEFENSE.
