Chile marks 53rd anniversary of 1973 coup without official ceremonies

Chile marks the 53rd anniversary of the 1973 military coup without official government ceremonies for the first time since the return to democracy in 1990. President José Antonio Kast, who is currently traveling in the Los Ríos Region, stated that his administration will focus on current public policies and the future of the nation rather than historical commemorations. Kast argued that while history cannot be erased, citizens should not be condemned by it.

The decision has drawn sharp criticism from opposition leaders, who argue that the state should reaffirm its commitment to human rights and democracy. In response to the lack of official acts, various organizations and political groups have organized their own ceremonies, including at the General Cemetery in Santiago. Former President Gabriel Boric also visited the cemetery to honor the victims.

Protests occurred in several cities, including Santiago and Valparaíso, leading to clashes between demonstrators and security forces. Authorities reported that 284 people were detained during the unrest, including 31 minors and 16 foreigners. Security forces utilized tear gas and water cannons to manage the crowds.
