"We are united by history, brotherhood and the desire to continue building an authentic democracy," said Lopez Obrador. The annual march, composed of relatives of victims of Pinochet's dictatorship, turned violent when small groups of people "sought to break up the demonstration," attacked other demonstrators and "brutally violated graves in the general cemetery," said Boric in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"I categorically condemn these events," Boris said in the post, noting that he had "proudly" participated in the march. "Their intolerance and violence should have no place in democracy and those who have participated in these acts must face the rule of law."
