Chile: Violence Erupts
- sebastianconcpt 7y agoThese demonstrations follow unrest that erupted in Ecuador earlier this month in response to a cut in fuel subsidies. The government of Ecuador similarly had little choice but to roll back its reform. Reports have suggested that leftist groups sparked this uprising, and Ecuador officials at the IMF meetings in Washington DC this past weekend said they had gathered intelligence of Venezuelan and Cuban involvement in protests in the country. A number of media outlets have also reported that the Foro de Sao Paulo alliance of leftists groups had gathered in Caracas in July, and the recent uprisings could have been planned by the more radical wings then.
