Santiago

Several initiatives took place this Friday in some parts of Santiago for the commemoration of the Day of the Young Combatant, and several led to clashes with the security forces. It was usually incendiary barricades that provoked the intervention of the carabinieri, as in Avenida Recoleta or in Villa Francia, where the police forces threw large tear gas canisters and grenades to disperse demonstrators. Other clashes took place in Pedro Aguirre Cerda, where protesters burned a vehicle and clashed with police forces. Barricades and clashes were also noted in Huelen and Mapocho streets in the Cerro Navia district, where protesters clashed with police forces with Molotov cocktails.
