Abstract

This research aims to contribute to a more complex understanding of the housing struggles during the Popular Unity government, through the study of the illegal housing occupations. A press analysis and a review of the ministerial archives allowed us to identify the squatting of 81 housing projects in Santiago. The characteristics of these illegal occupations, the actors involved, and their relationship with political parties and the government, has revealed unexpected dynamics that are noticeably different from the most well-known land seizures. These findings open questions about the involvement of low-income sectors and the middle classes in social conflicts.
