santiago, protesta martes 30 de mayo de 2006

Currently in Chile, students are protesting the federal government to spend more of the deficit on eliminating barriers to education, such as student bus fares and entrance exam fees. The protests were first met with resistance from the government, but a resolution seems to be coming.

These have been said to be the largest protests in Chile since the 1970’s. While travelling in South America last summer it seemed there was some thing cpnstatnly being marched, protested, demanded for and against. It’s just part of the culture.
