00:00to the government of the time.
00:02Many idealistic topics were discussed here,
00:05which in the hands of the youth
00:07were overwhelming and vital.
00:20Already at that time,
00:22he assumed a category more in accordance with his personality.
00:25He becomes president of the course and the high school.
00:29Subsequently, his profession as a leader
00:32and above all his high reflexive power and conviction
00:35lead him to occupy important positions
00:38in the domes of the high school students of Santiago.
01:00Meanwhile, the experience of not finding work easily
01:04and having had to stoically assume a new relegation of three months
01:09in the north of the country,
01:11make the parents of the individual extremely sensitive
01:15to the extra-school activities of their child.
01:21Perhaps here the obvious consequence of a path
01:25that for the then-teenager Rodrigo
01:28had its beginnings in the most full childhood.
01:55That day I believed that I would go to school.
01:57But I had to accompany my mother to look for the gifts.
01:59Then a break with my imaginary reference.
02:03And the child is sustained in the imaginary.
02:06And from there I changed my life,
02:09I changed my childhood, in fact.
02:11And that was caused by the fact that my father had to go to exile.
02:14So I live the violence since my childhood,
02:18without being part of it.
02:20Then I return to Chile and I also live a violence.
02:23Why? Because my father couldn't find a job,
02:26because there was the stigma, etc.,
02:29of having been a militant of a party.
02:32Then he is beaten, he is brutally tortured,
02:38he gets a capizagua.
02:41I was raped.
02:43Now, there are different ways to assume that form.
02:46There are ways of many people who choose to
02:50to elude that responsibility, to do nothing.
02:53I did not go that way.
02:55I went the way of getting involved,
02:57to be a participant,
02:59to try to change what was happening.
03:03And as I believed that it was the right thing,
03:09it was to face the violence,
03:12face the violence,
03:14the repression violence,
03:16self-defense.
03:19I did not go that way.
03:23His conditions as a student
03:25and the economic possibilities of the family
03:27allow him to access without problems
03:29to higher studies.
03:31In the Arsis, he enters the career of sociology,
03:35which obviously responds to all his reflexive concerns.
03:39As was to be assumed here,
03:41his incursions in the field of politics
03:43acquire greater definition
03:45and becomes a faithful interpreter
03:47of the communist youth,
03:49with all that it means,
03:51especially in a society
03:53that prohibits the exercise of political parties.
04:03Confused by the voracity of opposing manifestations,
04:06the youth plays its part
04:09and approaches without fear
04:11to the limits of violence.
04:13Undisputed in plans to access
04:15a more idyllic society,
04:17Rodrigo Hidalgo inserts himself as one more
04:19of those who opt for
04:21struggle and confrontation.
04:29Thus, all forms of struggle,
04:31fundamentally the army,
04:33make up his militancy.
04:35Every action we took
04:37was obviously to hit the state,
04:39to disarticulate it.
04:42An aggressive conduct on our part,
04:44which obviously responded
04:46to trying to subjectively influence the masses,
04:49in the subjective conditions
04:51that were taking place in the country,
04:53to influence in a positive way
04:55so that people began to become aware
04:57and go out into the streets
04:59and turn to the civil disobedience of that time,
05:01to what we later called the popular rebellion,
05:03the national uprising of the masses,
05:05which was the goal at that time
05:07to be able to disarticulate the dictatorship.
05:10And obviously in that political process
05:12we had to be prepared
05:14for all forms of struggle.
05:16And all forms of struggle
05:18also explained the army.
05:20And obviously in the army
05:22I was fully involved.
05:24And that meant learning
05:26everything military.
05:28That is, I perfected that thing
05:30of driving, of shooting,
05:32of knowing
05:34all the terrain of urban operation,
05:36of manifestation,
05:38all in scientific terms, obviously.
05:42The decision was made
05:44and the ways to access power
05:46in his stage as a university student
05:48were intrinsically daring,
05:50at permanent risk with his life.
05:52The participation of Rodrigo
05:54in the high spheres
05:56of communist youth
05:58is significant
06:00and he grants that instance
06:02the only option of life.
