Broken glass and bricks littered streets in Santiago after more violent protests Monday, prompting Chile's government to extend a curfew in the capital for a third straight day.
Shops and business have been looted and set on fire, and metro stations vandalized and closed to the public in widespread demonstrations over economic inequalities, living costs and rising debt in the usually stable country.Thousands of demonstrators took part in a massive protest in Santiago's Plaza Italia Monday, banging drums and pans and calling for the ouster of conservative President Sebastian Pinera, in protests that have paralyzed one of Latin America's biggest cities.
What's happening in Chile is the cause of violent police force, corrupt politicians, people tired of being treated as simple digits to fulfill the desires of the wealthy. While people go out and manifest (which is a right we have) politicians couldn't be more USELESS
Everything started as a pacific movement to stop the rising of prices in the subway system but the president acted so badly that people started to get angrier and he handled the situation poorly
Politicians make between 7 to 9million CLP a month for working just a few hours a month. Their per Diem is 250.000 CLP and ALL THEIR BILLS AND UTILITIES ARE PAID BY THE GOVT/PEOPLE. And they usually sleep during sessions!
Violence and dead ,,piñera killer
