Chile: Se enfrentan estudiantes y policías tras protesta

Thousands of Chilean students protested in the capital against government education plans. They aimed to reach the Ministry of Education but faced police intervention. The students have long demanded free university access, a promise not fully met by the government due to economic challenges. Only 14% of students will study for free, far less than the 70% promised by former President Bachelet.
