CAE Debtors Protest Seizures, Demand Loan Cancellation: "Legislating Out of Hate"

Hundreds of people protested in Alameda, Chile, on Thursday, demanding the full cancellation of the CAE educational loan and an end to government asset seizures. The demonstration, organized by the Assembly of CAE Debtors, saw around 300 participants.

"In the first instance, we want the total cancellation of educational debts, but in the short term, we demand the cessation of all seizures and the restitution of all assets and funds taken from people's accounts," said Maximiliano, a member of the Assembly of CAE Debtors. He accused the government of legislating out of "hatred towards the workers and laborers of this country," urging them to reconsider and recognize that educated professionals drive the nation.

It seems the Government is legislating out of hatred towards the workers and laborers of this country, so we call on them to reconsider and make them understand that professionals or people who study are the engine of the nation.
