International protest superstar Camila Vallejo cheers on Quebec students

As the president of the University of Chilean Student Federation last year, she helped lead hundreds of thousands into the streets across Chile to protest the poor access to higher education.
The protests began anew this month, with 100,000 students in the streets of Santiago.
Vallejo told The Canadian Press in an interview from Santiago that she is getting updates on the Quebec protests from international student networks.
She spoke of the "extreme repression" by police that both Chilean and Quebec students have faced.
"The only thing I'd wish them is strength, that they keep their heads up, that they continue in this fight, which is one I imagine isn't limited only to the area of education, but one that is much larger, that has to do with a vision of a distinct society," said Vallejo, now vice-president of the university association.//
