Chile: Activists plan to protest outside La Moneda Palace in Santiago Jan. 6
Anti-government protesters plan to gather outside La Moneda Palace in Santiago, Chile, from 10:00 Jan. 6. Disruptions likely.
Activists opposing President Gabriel Boric plan to protest in central Santiago on Jan. 6. Participants will gather from 10:00 outside La Moneda Palace, located opposite Plaza de la Constitucion. The amount of participants the event may draw remains unclear.
The protest will likely prompt localized traffic delays in central Santiago, including on Avenida Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins, also known as La Alameda. Heightened security is likely in the area. The gathering will likely remain peaceful, but clashes cannot be ruled out, especially if security forces attempt to disperse demonstrators.
Avoid the protest. Plan for localized traffic disruptions in central Santiago. Leave the area immediately at the first sign of any security disturbance and seek shelter in the nearest secure location. Heed instructions from authorities.
