In this article, we show how the pandemic in Chile has exposed deep inequalities, configured by the neoliberal model that was installed by the civic-military dictatorship, and that has been administered until today. From the socio-political crisis of October 2019 and subsequently the socio-health crisis, the neoliberal government focused its intervention on control, targeted assistance, economy, and health. The crises and these actions exacerbated the precariousness of life, mainly hitting the popular sectors. In response, local, territorially decentralized and resistance strategies have been articulated, such as: the community confinement model, developed by the Municipality of Valparaíso and the solidarity and community political practice of common pots.

Keywords : Community practices; local policies; neoliberalism; pandemic; territories; Valparaíso.
