Police deployed water cannons against protesters in Santiago on October 18 during a rally marking the seventh anniversary of Chile’s 2019 social uprising. The protest turned confrontational as riot police clashed with marchers, with some demonstrators throwing rocks while others were detained.
The 2019 protests began over a rise in Santiago public transport fares and quickly grew into a nationwide movement against inequality, living costs, and limited access to public services, before easing following an agreement to draft a new constitution and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
