the Liberales told you all what would happen.
Indeed.
But it is too late for that, and I have decided I will take up refuge in secret pathways in the Andes, some of them were used to hide San Martin's army during the Independence wars, but I doubt the government will find me. I will report now and then until the situation has been handled. I will wait this out, agitating until the militancy of the people rises up significantly, and I invite many to do the same. There are many hidden weapon caches but no men to use them, so until our cause starts getting noticed, I will continue the fight underground. We have suffered many casualties and we, the remains of an old elite of congressmen and free thinkers, will not last long in the open, but can only hope to get to the hearts of the people.
Our enemies have tried to impose a democratic look to the imperial court. They speak of equal representation and balance, but I don't feel represented.. and I was supposed to represent the people's desires in the Congreso, for that I was elected. But nobody elected Cesar I to be the eternal king and lord of Chile. He was supposed to serve his term and he failed his most important responsability: the one to the people.
Other politicans have no chance against generals and nobles, since their votes are worthless against the imperial backed ones. There will be no equalty here, as long as the upper house, or "imperial court" as they call it, is free and it's members elected by the people. And it never will be free because the only ones able to do so, deny because they would see their power fade. So there's no peacefull resolution to this.
The only way out here is that we propose an agreement to the emperor: We stop our fight against the Empire if he allows us to write a constitution, and become a constitutional monarchy. It is the only way for this regime to go down quietly.
But I am not stupid. I know the emperor will never agree to such agreement. That's why we must fight! That's why we must carry the Republicano flag. We must abolish monarchy!
