Protest
Protest flags outside the Hangaroa Hotel, Hanga Roa, Rapa Nui. Long term and sometimes violent agitation by a small group of Rapanui against the Hangaroa Hotel resulted, in 2020, in the renunciation of long term rights over it by its Chilean "owners". The protesters, it should be noted, insist that their campaign was not violent, but it was characterized by threatening imagery and behaviour, and an incident when a tour guide at the hotel was struck by a protester is reported.
