Nuñez tells reporters that permission has been granted for Saturday's demonstrations, “but not in city centers.”
Despite the restriction, there is a “very high risk” of unrest.
“We will not allow any excesses,” Nuñez says, warning of an “extremely forceful” response to violations.
Demonstrations across the country in recent weeks have brought hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets. At times, the protests have been violent, with clashes between demonstrators and police in several places. Last Saturday, more than 1,300 people were arrested and around 50 were injured.
