Incidents between demonstrators and police, marked by barricades, fires and looting, took place last night and last night in the center of Santiago de Chile, on yet another Friday of protest against the government of President Sebastián Piñera. As in the past, the center of the demonstration was Plaza Baquedano, renamed as 'Plaza Dignidad', where many hundreds of people gathered to demand the resignation of the head of state and demand the release of those arrested during the year of protests. social events erupted in October 2019.
The incidents, the Chilean media reported, developed at times with an urban guerrilla technique, with commandos in action in different points of the center that erected barricades and launched Molotov cocktails and fireworks against the police, which they responded with the use of truncheons and fire hydrants.
Violent clashes between individuals with covered faces and a unit of 'carabineros' also took place in front of the entrance of the Universidad de Chile, while video images documented various episodes of vandalism, including the looting of a ScotiaBank agency and a Pharmacy.
The appeal to take to the streets was spread yesterday through social networks by the so-called 'Primera LÃnea Revolucionaria', the movement that gave rise to the first protests against the government a year ago.
