November Protest Wrapup
Hundreds of Chilean protesters in the northern city of Antofagasta marched to demand the resignation of President Sebastian Piñera and amnesty for political prisoners. Speeches were first given out at the 21 of May Plaza by mothers of political prisoners, before hundreds more gathered to begin the called-for disruption.
Dozens of members of the Anarchist Political Organization gathered at the municipal doctor’s office of Kypseli, a neighborhood of Athens, to demand free food, housing, education, and healthcare for all. Protesters dropped a banner at the site and distributed leaflets in the area to avoid contact with police.
Dozens of protesters gathered at the Cerro Chena mountain in opposition to a proposed sports city at the site near the capital city of Santiago. Torture and disappearances had been known to occur on the mountain under the previous neoliberal dictatorship of Pinochet, and demonstrators demand that all human remains be removed before the sports city begins construction.
