Police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse protesters in Santiago on Thursday as demonstrators rallied against policies promoted by Chilean President Jose Antonio Kast on economic, labour and environmental issues. The protest, centred near Baquedano metro station, drew labour, student and social organisations carrying banners opposing what organisers described as a pro-business agenda. Local media reported clashes between protesters and Carabineros officers, while Metro de Santiago temporarily closed station entrances due to disturbances outside. Authorities did not immediately provide figures on arrests, injuries or property damage. #chile, #santiago, #chileprotests, #joseantoniokast, #breakingnews, #worldnews, #protests, #riotpolice, #teargas, #watercannon, #latinamerica, #politics, #antigovernment, #demonstration, #clashes, #newsupdate, #internationalnews, #streetprotests, #santiagonews, #globalnews In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay
