The anniversary of the social outburst that started the constituent process underway in the southern country was commemorated.

The commemoration by Chilean organizations and social movements of the second anniversary of the social outburst that began on October 18, 2019, ended in episodes of violence, which resulted in two people dead and some 450 arrested, which the ruling party used to blame the leftist candidates for the Presidency.

Two people lost their lives in neighborhoods on the outskirts of Santiago, the capital, one by gunshot in an attempt to loot a commercial establishment and the other when he was riding a motorcycle and got entangled with a steel cable.

The largest concentration on Monday took place in the central Plaza Italia, renamed Plaza Dignidad, in Santiago de Chile, with about 10,000 people, according to figures provided by police authorities, who mostly demonstrated peacefully, with chants and music.

The government of Sebastián Piñera, in the midst of corruption scandals, directly blamed several leftist political leaders, including presidential candidates Yasna Provosote and Gabriel Boric, for the episodes of violence and vandalism.
