Chile government skips Sept 11 commemoration, Kast keeps regular schedule

Chile's government, led by President Kast, will not hold an official event on September 11, the anniversary of the 1973 coup, breaking with democratic precedent. The decision has drawn criticism from the official sector for incoherence and from the opposition, which urges Kast to respect the date's significance. This marks a notable shift in state symbolism under the current administration.
