Spanish term or phrase: efecto imitación
En el segundo caso, entre las causas de las protestas más citadas, se consideró la indignación por la desigualdad extrema y la alta sensación de injusticia por la creciente corrupción; también se consideró el efecto imitación de las manifestaciones de París, Barcelona y Hong Kong; por otro lado, y con un talante más bien (rather) colonial, se desestimó el logro a escala regional de una coordinación, con múltiples centros y en ocasiones sin líderes visibles, de acciones simultáneas como, por ejemplo, el Cacerolazo por la vida digna del pueblo latinoamericano el 1 de diciembre o el performance de las feminista chilenas El violador eres tú celebrada en octubre de ese año en varias ciudades de Latinoamérica pero también de Europa, incluso en algunas donde no había protestas por ese entonces

English translation:copycat effect
Explanation:
A recent study of UK protests in this period identifies a copycat effect:
‘Successful and prominent protest activity by one group fuels the propensity of
the general population to protest.’
On 7 September, truckers and farmers voted to blockade the oil
refinery at Stanlow in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, prompting the Mail’s
front-page: ‘British farmers copycat blockade’. In a leader, ‘Afflicted by
the French epidemic’, the paper contrasted ‘bloody-minded militancy’
