"I don't want anything given for free," "But I know that in Chile the institutions, the law and the constitution are made to abuse the working classes. I want a new deal,". "Hong Kong is similar, the authorities are not thinking about people's wellbeing... I have a fraternal hug for them, and all my solidarity from Chile. Please don't give up." REUTERS/Jorge Silva

(Reuters) - Protests swept the globe in 2019, with millions of people taking to the streets from Catalonia to Colombia, Haiti to Hong Kong.
