VOICED : Estudiantes marchan en Chile para exigir condonacion de deudas

The transcript discusses a student protest in Santiago, Chile, where police used tear gas and water cannons. The protestors demanded the elimination of bank loans for university education, advocating for free education instead. The current government proposal focuses on state loans, which the students oppose. The educational reform, a key initiative of Michelle Bachelet's government, aims to remove a 2005 mechanism for bank loans but does not address existing student debt. The protestors argue that the reform does not fulfill the promise of universal free education and criticize Bachelet for neglecting the student movement's historical demands.
