After the resurgence of Chile Despierto protests in October, the Chilean government installed security forces in Plaza Dignidad in Santiago, which engaged in fierce clashes with anarchist protesters. The main city square was successfully taken by demonstrators on the 6th of November.
Thousands of protesters descended on Plaza Dignidad and the Presidential Palace in Santiago on a day of national mobilization against the right-wing presidency of Sebastian Piñera, as part of the Estallido Social (Social Outbreak) that has gripped Chile since the 18th of October in 2019. Police responded with heavy repression, using water cannons & tear gas, but ultimately failed to quell the demonstration.
