Whole families staged this second great march since its first release under the slogan of "No + AFP" has been adding more and more followers. The coordinator of the movement announced a major strike next 4th of November in response to lack of response from the government of Chile, complementing the action with the requirement of a national plebiscite, so the citizenship decides the pension system they want. The coordinator of the movement, Luis Messina, made the call to switch to "FUND E" in order to bring down the actual pension system.
