Chile: Activists protesting in Valparaiso Aug. 28
Activists protesting outside the National Congress in Valparaiso, Chile, Aug. 28. Localized disruptions likely.
Activists affiliated with multiple organizations, such as Chile Better Without Free Trade Agreements (Chile Mejor Sin Tratados de Libre Comercio), are protesting in Valparaiso on Aug. 28 to oppose the Chile-European Union Treaty. Protesters gathered from 09:45 outside the National Congress building in Valparaiso. The amount of participants remain unclear.
The protests will likely prompt localized traffic delays. Protesters may march to different locations in Valparaiso. The gathering will likely remain peaceful, but clashes cannot be ruled out, especially if security forces attempt to disperse demonstrators forcibly.
Avoid the protest. 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.
