Водно оръдие в Чили срещу протестиращи рибари

Clashes erupted as hundreds of fishermen held a demonstration in Valparaiso, Monday. Chilean police used water cannon to disperse the group, protesting against the government's fisheries policy. The fishermen gathered to protest the legislation, which they claim favours larger fishing companies. Protesters interrupted the traffic and threw stones and projectiles at police. Fishermen called for demonstrations across the country to protest against the Fisheries Act, demanding an 100 percent share of the resource. The Fisheries Act, which was first introduced in 2013, granted large-scale companies 25-year concessions around fishing farms. Protesters argue this resulted in the effective privatisation of marine sources throughout the country.
