translated from Spanish: Carabineros projects between 400 thousand and 600 thousand attendees at the march of the 8M

Carabineros General Berta Robles, who is in charge of the guard-up operation of the International Women’s Day commemoration march, referred to the measures taken by the uniformed police for the safety of the event.
Robles said that 1,700 carabiners nationwide will be in charge of the operation, and that they will wear uniforms of order and security.
The official stated that the march will not be considered as disturbing public order, even though no authorization was sought from the regional government, and that various transit diversions were available for both collective locomotion and vehicles Particular.
The street cut will start at 11 o’clock (the active march called at 12 o’clock) and will be on the Providencia-Alameda axis, from Manuel Montt in the east to Toro Mazote in the west.
Robles said one of the drawbacks of the march not being coordinated with the authorities is that there are several protocols that could not be agreed upon, including what will happen in case there are children lost in the demonstration. That’s why he called on the people who attend the march, to agree on meeting places and times.
On the presence of men at the march, whom the summoners have asked not to attend the demonstration, the general said that “it is their decision if they ask men to stay away.”
Regarding the call, the official said that the projections, based on 2019 attended by 200 thousand people, is that this Sunday the figure could double or triple.
