On 25 October, over a million people took to the streets throughout Chile to protest against President Piñera, demanding his resignation.[19][20]  I think we are many many more demanding Piñera and his cabinet to resign in and out of Chile’s borders!

As of 26 October, 19 people have died, nearly 2,500 have been injured, and 2,840 have been arrested.[20][8] Human rights organisations have received several reports of violations conducted against protesters, including torture and sexual abuse.[21][22][23]

Background
Poverty, inequality and cost of living
According to Jose Miguel Ahumada, a political economist and associate professor at the University of Chile, the country is "one of the most unequal countries in Latin America".[11] As described by Washington Post, while the last three decades of neoliberal policies made Chile "one of South America’s wealthiest countries, with inflation under control and easy access to credit", they also "created stark economic disparities and strapped many Chileans into debt".[32] The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) states, that 1% of the population in Chile controls 26.5% of the country's wealth, while 50% of low-income households access 2.1%. Additionally, according to National Statistics Institute of Chile, while the minimum wage in Chile is 301,000 pesos, half of the workers in that country receive a salary equal to or less than 400,000 pesos.[33]
