Chilean demonstrators hit the streets of the capital again

Description

Thousands of Chileans take the streets again in Santiago to protest social and economic inequality and against an entrenched political elite that comes from a small number of the country's wealthiest families, among other issues. Some climate change protesters also join this rally after the country delays its emissions goal boost at its own UN climate talks taking place in Madrid. Protests in Chile initially erupted in mid-October over metro fare hikes but quickly escalated into the most severe outbreak of social unrest since the end of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet in 1990.
