Resumen
In this article, the censorship against the Chilean working-class press in Chile between 1919 and 1925 will be analyzed in the context of the social question, the crisis of the oligarchy and the reconfiguration of the reppressive branch of the State. We consider as a hypothesis that governments favored the administrative-police censorship over judicial censorship, seeing the current legislation as insufficient in controling these media characterized as being "subversive". For this reason, in this time, it was built this way to create regulations that established controls and prohibitions unknown until then. To explain the censorship mechanics, we will focus on the procedures, agents and promoters of said censorship and the defense of freedom of expression carried out by the working-class press and we have used as sources the working-class and latest press, the parliamentary debate, the sentences, and the government files.
