More than 100 public organizations in Chile convened mass demonstrations on the streets of the country on Monday to protest against government policies.
In Italy, which has already become a traditional gathering place for citizens, carabinieri used tear gas, water guns and Molotov cocktails flew in response from the protesters.
Two police officers suffered serious burns to their faces and necks, but their lives are out of danger.
In recent weeks, mass protests have taken place across Chile, often ending in riots and clashes with police. A state of emergency was imposed in the country, a curfew was in effect for several nights in a row.
The reason for the start of mass protests in Chile was the rise in prices for subway travel in early October. However, this is only one of the reasons. Residents oppose the inability to get a decent free education and health services, low wages and rising tariffs. Initially peaceful, on October 18, the protests escalated into clashes with police and riots. The Chilean authorities had to cancel the APEC summit in November and the COP – 25 climate forum in December.
