SANTIAGO - Troops were patrolling the streets of the Chilean capital Santiago on Saturday morning, the military confirmed, after President Sebastian Pinera evoked a state of emergency amid a surge in violent protests over a hike in public transport fares.
“The recommendation for people is that they can go home to be with their families and be calm,” he said. Metro stations, buses and the high-rise headquarters of electric utility Enel ENELCHILE.SN were set on fire, firefighters and public transport authorities said. In just over three weeks, Chile is due to host U.S. President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping along with many others for a regional summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. Weeks later it will host other world leaders for the COP25 United Nations climate change summit.
