Chile’s Central Bank has significantly lowered its economic growth projections for the country. Simultaneously, the US Ambassador to Chile stated they possess no information regarding the organizers behind the “estallido social” – the social unrest. In a separate development, the Chilean government has removed individuals from the “Registro de vándalos,” a register of those sanctioned following the protests. This move suggests a potential shift in the government’s approach to those involved in the social upheaval. The combined announcements indicate a complex and evolving situation in Chile, encompassing economic challenges and ongoing political sensitivities. These actions reflect the fluidity of the political and economic landscape following widespread protests. The report originally appeared on CIPER Chile.
