entry description
Civil protests are taking place throughout Chile in response to a raise in the Santiago Metro's subway fare, the increased cost of living, privatisation and inequality prevalent in the country since October 2019. 1st December 2019, I was walking along one of the main streets in Santiago. All shops are closed, but there are many people with gas masks, flags, holding rocks in their hands. I couldn't stop clicking my camera even when the police started to spray high pressure water and tear gas. I felt lots of energy and emotion moving around.about the photographer
