In Chile, students and high school pupils are mobilising against budget cuts to education despite a government crackdown. Since taking office in March 2026, far-right President José Antonio Kast has faced a persistent student movement that openly challenges his policies. The confrontation has become a focal point for opposition to the new administration, with observers highlighting the determination of young protesters in the face of repression.
Why now: The student movement's direct defiance of newly elected President Kast and reports of repression are drawing attention to mounting political tensions in Chile.
