(CNN in Spanish) - This Friday was one of the most popular protests so far in Santiago, Chile. The official death toll was 19 and the country's president, Sebastián Piñera, continues to call for peace and announce measures.
Some protesters protested with creativity and that is reflected in the posters that many of them took to the demonstrations.
