Chile’s Ministry of the Interior has updated the protocol governing the actions of public forces during social protests. The updated measure aims to strike a balance between allowing peaceful protest and protecting the rights of citizens who do not participate in demonstrations. This new protocol seeks to ensure a more measured response to demonstrations occurring across Chile. Officials hope the revised guidelines will prevent escalations and protect both protestors and non-participants alike. The Ministry emphasized the importance of upholding constitutional rights while maintaining public order. Details of the updated protocol have not yet been fully released, but the announcement signals a move towards a more nuanced approach to managing public demonstrations in Chile.
