Thousands of students, teachers, and social activists clash with police in Chile’s capital during a large march against President José Antonio Kast’s education cuts and broader austerity measures. Multiple outlets report that the demonstrations turn violent as protesters and police confront each other along the march route. The protest is described as a massive, coordinated effort bringing together students and other civic groups concerned about cuts to education funding and related policy changes linked to austerity. Police respond to the unrest during the march, leading to direct clashes in the city. The reporting emphasizes the scale of the turnout and the central issue driving the protest—Kast’s education cuts. While details such as specific injuries, arrests, or the exact locations of clashes are not provided in the excerpts, both sources agree on the core elements: the march occurs in the capital, thousands participate, police confront protesters, and the catalyst is opposition to education cuts and austerity policies under Kast.
