Many of their predecessors had spent their summer holidays swotting, having devoted last year to occupying classrooms and taking to the streets in their tens and hundreds of thousands, in sometimes violent demonstrations to demand free and better higher education. This mass popular protest, and the huge public sympathy it aroused, took the center-right government of Sebastian Pinera by surprise, leaving it floundering. The habit of protest seems to be catching on. Such protests have been commonplace for years in Peru, a poorer and more diverse country. But Chile? In the two decades since General Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship gave way to democracy, Chile has stood out in Latin America for its rapid growth, social progress, political stability and relatively robust institutions. Now Chile's political leaders are wondering if they are seeing a popular rebellion against "the model", as some call the free-market policies bequeathed by Pinochet and left largely intact by his successors.
