Localized transportation disruptions and a heightened security presence are likely surrounding demonstrations. Clashes between protesters and security forces cannot be ruled out.
Context
Public sector unions, including ANEF, held three days of strikes and protests beginning November 26. The majority of protests and strikes ended on November 28 following negotiations with the government, though ANEF did not agree to the terms.
On November 28, riot police dispersed labor protesters with water cannons.
Advice
Individuals in Chile, particularly Santiago, are advised to monitor developments to the situation, avoid protests as a precaution, and anticipate public demonstrations, transportation disruptions, and a heightened security presence.
