Carabineros prevents protesters from reaching the statue of General Baquedano: disorders are registered | National

A group smaller than those registered in recent weeks gathered this Friday in the vicinity of Plaza Baquedano, generating clashes with the police.

As a result of the above, the water-launching car had to act to disperse the audience, those who were trying to reach the statue of General Baquedano.

This was communicated through Twitter, where they explained that “in the face of disorders caused by violent individuals, personnel from the Prefecture of Public Order Control deploys encounter training techniques.”

Specifically, the troops carried out a blockade to prevent people from vandalizing the monument.
