Noise Dispute Erupts in Santiago: Neighbors Clash with Evangelical Church

Residents of the Victoria neighborhood in Santiago have been locked in a two-year dispute with the evangelical church "Crusada de Poder" over excessive noise. The conflict has escalated to the courts, with a recent appeal rejected. "It's been two years of constant noise," says one resident, who describes the situation as "intolerable." The church pastor maintains that they comply with municipal noise ordinances, but residents report regular disturbances from amplified music and large gatherings. The situation highlights a common tension between religious freedom and community well-being. The story is ongoing, with the community continuing to seek resolution.
