Chile student march against 2027 budget cuts turns disruptive on Alameda

Confech-led protest in Santiago against potential education cuts in the 2027 budget, announced by President Kast's government, has led to incidents on the Alameda. The march, under the slogan 'Not one peso less for education,' draws an estimated 10,000 participants. This signals domestic political friction over fiscal priorities, but the budget is not yet final and the scale of cuts remains unconfirmed.
