In Chile, thousands of people took to the streets of Santiago Sunday to protest President José Antonio Kast’s environmental rollbacks since taking office earlier this month. Kast’s government halted over 40 environmental protections that had been drafted during the previous administration of leftist Gabriel Boric. Protesters marched to La Moneda, Chile’s presidential palace, to mark World Water Day.
Estéfano: “I think we cannot continue living under a government that believes everything contrary to business and industry interests is an ideology. So I think we need to take to the streets, demonstrate and fight for environmental rights, animal rights and people’s rights.”
Kast is the most right-wing president elected in Chile since the U.S.-backed Pinochet military dictatorship.
