Chile's president says govt has 'nothing to hide' concerning allegations of police abuse during deadly protests amid fresh clashes
Demonstrators clash with riot police during a protest against the government's economic policies in Santiago on November 6, 2019.
"We have been totally transparent about the figures because we have nothing to hide," President Sebastian Pinera said in a speech on Wednesday. The Costanera Center is South America's biggest shopping centre and a symbol of the economic expansion that had made Chile one of the region's most stable countries until the latest unrest.
Other messages on social media called on protesters to rally in the upmarket Vitacura district at the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean. Thousands of protesters also gathered at the city's Plaza Italia, the epicentre of the protests over the past three weeks.
