During the covid-19 confinement process, various forms of social protest were presented, together with the inability of Latin American governments to manage the health crisis caused by the pandemic, demonstrated in most cases that the State's response to social mobilizations and resistance was the criminalization of social protest, through repression and arbitrary detentions to try to instill fear among the population. The movements generated in the context of the pandemic had several and novel edges during the confinement, among them: the use of information technologies as one of the key elements for social denunciation and the organization of protest for the seizure of public space. On the other hand, the demands of the social protests focused mainly on the insufficient strategic planning of governments in the face of the pandemic, on the precariousness and collapse of health systems, on the increase in gender violence, unemployment, poverty, inequality, and social violence.
