Chileans march on World Water Day to oppose Kast’s environmental rollbacks
Thousands of Chileans took to the streets in Santiago and 15 other cities on World Water Day to protest President José Antonio Kast’s withdrawal of dozens of environmental protections, including 43 decrees from the Boric era. Activists say 1.4 million Chileans still lack drinking water, while Kast defends deregulation and prioritizing economic goals. The protests underscored widespread opposition to the new administration’s approach to environmental policy.
