text: Chile has been experiencing ongoing protests and civil unrest, particularly in the capital city of Santiago, due to demands for socio-economic reforms. The protests, which have involved destruction of property and arrests, have been ongoing since October 2019. The government has responded with concessions, including education, pension, and healthcare reforms, but the protests have continued on a smaller scale. In September 2022, a constitutional plebiscite was held and rejected by the populace, and associated protests became violent on a daily basis, resulting in at least 31 deaths and over 11,500 injuries. While protests have occurred less frequently in 2023, there is still a risk of violence, as demonstrated by the infiltration of violent minorities within larger crowds. The situation remains fluid, and corporate travelers to Santiago should stay informed and take appropriate precautions to ensure their safety.
