Chilean student protest deteriorates into chaos

The piece of news is about the protest occurred in the city  Santiago de Chile, on Thursday September 27. The protest gathered thousands of high school and university students, which claim by government indifference to their demands proclaimed. While students gave a much higher estimate of 70,000 the police reported only 5,000 protesters.

The protest also come as preliminarily the debate in Congress over 2013 budget about education. while the students are still dissatisfied and the government maintains its plans for education spending to reach a record 20 percent of the budget.


The march began near Santiago Estación Central along La Alameda, but the accorded route was different, thus this began the disorder and chaos. There were hundreds of clashes between police and hooded, leaving behind the ideal of pacific march. For a change people who were not related to the protest were involved in a violence, bombs and tear gas, "guanacos" or water cannon truck, among others.

My opinion

In my opinion the news reflected in some part what happens in the protests in Santiago de Chile, however, I think I should give greater emphasis to the demands that students proclaim him rather than chaos or riots occurred. Besides the march it was was very cultural and many people therefor the press these issues could be further strengthened with the demands and so better reflect the situation of students in Chile.
