Message from zapatistas to the wave
A solidarity message from Mexico to Italy. This is in Spanish. Speaker is a representative of S.E.R.A.Z.L.N. (”the zapatista autonomous and rebel educational system of national liberation”).
Things starting to happen again
Students are back, and so are the mobilizations. Now it seems that The Wave of universitarians is taking part in the numerous protests against the war in Gaza. But besides this, the campaign for self-reductions (autoriduzioni) has been going on, and there have been some university protests too.
On Thursday 15 January 2009, the university of Calabria was celebrating the inauguration of the academic year. There was a notable guest, too: the president of the republic, Giorgio Napolitano. However, students decided to voice their criticism towards the university administration and the Italian government. “What is there to inaugurate? The destruction of the university? The situation of precarity? Or even better, the end of democracy?”
In the morning, before the inauguration, the university was occupied…by the police. Students were kept outside. At 1 p.m. students took back their university. The party was spoiled and president Napolitano was on the run, students say. (Source: Uniriot)
