Dozens of Chilean students interrupted a meeting at the Senate headquarters in Santiago to press their call for a referendum on Chile's social problems.

The students broke in as lawmakers and the education minister were discussing next year's budget.

The protesters left several hours later after opposition lawmakers promised to introduce a bill calling for a referendum.

Students have been protesting for months to demand free public education.

Hermain Cain keeps saying the "Chilean Model" is Super Special Awesome. Shouldn't these students be so excited to live in such a utopia??? :sarcasm:
