Up to 200,000 people marched through Santiago (http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2012/08/29/Protest-begins-in-peace-ends-in-violence/UPI-87481346248796/) yesterday. Students and teachers protesting over education were supported by the country's largest union, the United Workers Federation, which called on members to join the march. It ended with police turning water cannon and teargas (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/higher-education/massive-chile-student-protest/story-e6frgcjx-1226460877213) on the protesters. But the protests aren't going away. For over a year now, this revolt has been developing. Mass protests and general strikes have shaken the government, as when 600,000 workers walked out last August.
