With flags, with banners, with pans.

Dozens of people in different parts of the world - not only in the capitals - have expressed their solidarity with the protests that have been repeated in Chile for a week

On Friday, more than 1.2 million people concentrated on Plaza Italia, a nerve center in Santiago, to demand reforms from Sebastián Piñera’s government and call for an end to the deep inequalities of Chilean society.

Convened in social networks as “the largest march in Chile”, it is estimated that Friday was the most massive since the return of democracy to Chile.

But in other cities in both Europe and Latin America the marches have also dyed colors and emotions over the weekend.
