Correction: In the video, a wrong figure for number of people killed during the protests was mentioned. The correct figure is 22 people (as of 25 Oct 2019).

These protests are part of a weeks-long agitation by tens of thousands of the people against the economic policies of the government of Sebastián Piñera. We take a look at these policies and the transport fare hike that was the immediate trigger for these protests.
