Student protests in Chile have turned violent, with police deploying tear gas and water cannons in Santiago amid growing anger over proposed cuts to education funding.
According to Anadolu Agency, the clashes come as opposition builds against an austerity budget put forward by President Kast, which includes reductions affecting the education sector.
Clashes in the capital
Details on the number of protesters involved or any injuries sustained during the confrontations with police have not been fully disclosed.
The demonstrations reflect broader discontent among students and education groups over the government's fiscal priorities, as authorities work to balance budget constraints with public spending demands.
It remains unclear whether the government plans to revise its proposed education cuts in response to the protests, or how long the demonstrations are expected to continue.
