Chile Students Protest Education Cuts
from Dover News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Chile’s capital erupted in massive protests as tens of thousands of students, teachers, and activists took to the streets to defy President Kast’s sweeping education cuts and austerity agenda. Facing a proposed $6 billion spending slash across ministries, demonstrators — backed by major unions and feminist groups — clashed violently with police deploying water cannons and tear gas. The government’s controversial “mega-reform” bill, already approved by the lower house, aims to slash public spending to spur economic growth — but protesters vow to resist, demanding their rights and resources. At least a dozen arrests and injuries followed the chaotic showdown, as even Kast’s own coalition voices growing concern. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
