Despite the announcement, Codelco’s Chuquicamata mine was operating normally early on Wednesday, according to internal documents viewed by Reuters. “We invite all to join...what we want is peace, but the only durable peace comes with social justice,” said CUT president Barbara Figueroa. The president said the package represented “concrete and urgent steps” to resolve inequality that has sent tens of thousands into the streets to demand an economic overhaul and, in some cases, his removal.WEEKEND VIOLENCE

The president’s pledges came after the center-right Pinera, a billionaire businessman, was widely criticized for saying on Monday that Chile was “at war” with violent protesters, even as thousands of people held peaceful demonstrations demanding an end to low wages and a high cost of living. “I hope that by ending the violent demonstrations, through dialogue, efforts are made to find solutions to the crisis,” Francis said.
