A total of 44,189 tweets were collected, from this sample, only 237 (0.54%) tweets were originally posted or retweeted in English, which can be explained by the fact that Chile is a Spanish speaking country. After removing the not related tweets the sample was reduced to 121 (0.27%). Despite being a small sample, based on additional analysis, we state that this is a representative sample of the opinions related to this commemoration. The high number of not related tweets is given that the hashtag #27F is also included in tweets related to celebrating the Independence of the Dominican Republic and the International Polar Bear Day; the birthday of José Vasconcelos (Mexican writer, philosopher, and politician), Elizabeth Taylor (American actress) and José Antonio Meade Kuribreña (Mexican politician). Other tweets that include the hashtag #27F are those commemorating the 'Caracazo' (protests, riots and looting that started on February 27 1989 in Caracas, Venezuela); the dead of Mauricio Garcés (Mexican actor) and Eyker Daniel Rojas (Venezuelan citizen assassinated during the Caracazo).
