There were tense scenes in the streets of Santiago Friday, October 23, as protesters faced off with police just days before a referendum to decide on a new constitution for Chile.
Riot police used tear gas and a water cannon to control the crowd out on the street.
These protests began a little over a year ago to call for reforms to the pension, healthcare and education systems.
A new constitution was a central demand that emerged from the protests with Chileans expected to turn out in the millions Sunday, October 25, to cast their vote in the referendum.
