Santiago court admits municipality lawsuits over damage in 2024 capital marches

Chile's 7th Guarantee Court admitted lawsuits filed by the Municipality of Santiago seeking compensation for property damage during the October 1 and 12, 2024 capital marches, two days before the 18-O anniversary. The ruling allows evidence proceedings to move forward, but the legal outcome and potential liability remain uncertain. This is a routine judicial step in an ongoing legal process, not a new development in the underlying protest movement.
