Chile: Activists plan to gather in several urban centers, including Santiago, July 26
Activists plan to gather in several urban centers, including Santiago, Chile, July 26. Localized disruptions are likely.
Activists affiliated with several organizations, including the Chilean Network against Violence against Women (Red Chilena contra la Violencia hacia las Mujeres), plan to gather in several urban centers on July 26. The protesters will be demanding Senator Javier Macaya's resignation after supposedly defending his father, Eduardo Macaya, who was convicted of sexual abuse.
Activists plan to protest at the following locations and times:
Buin: Plaza de Buin from 18:30
Chillan: Paseo las Palmas from 18:00
La Serena: Tribunal Oral en lo Penal from 18:00
Puerto Montt: Corte de Apelaciones from 18:00
Santiago: Cathedral from 18:00.
The protests will likely prompt localized traffic delays. During the demonstrations, protesters may march to different locations around the main protest sites. The gatherings will likely remain peaceful, but clashes cannot be ruled out, especially if security forces attempt to disperse demonstrators forcibly.
Avoid the protests. Plan for localized traffic disruptions. Leave the area immediately at the first sign of any security disturbance and seek shelter in the nearest secure location. Heed instructions from authorities.
