Chilean President Sebastian Pinera, whose administration has been wracked by a week of deadly protests, acknowledged Friday that he had "heard the message" following what's believed to be the country's largest-ever demonstration.

In a Twitter post after almost a million people took to the streets of Santiago, the president said that "the massive, happy and peaceful march today, where Chileans demanded a more just and supportive Chile, opens great paths for the future and hope."
