In May 2012, the University of Paris I notified four of his students that they would be
brought before a disciplinary board. The direction of the college continues its anti-union
line and authoritarian. ---- Among the students in question, three of them were accused of
having beaten Antoine Diers, President of MET [ 1 ] and Lambeth councilor, elections to
the central councils. The fourth was supposed to have attacked the center's president and
the head of security who each filed a complaint. No militant MET was challenged while
several were named in the report of referral to the university. It was even said that they
were outside the university. It must be said that several ministers [ 2 ] including higher
education had spread in the press to denounce these events, however unspeakable they said.
In sum, the version distributed by the MET and taken over by the government was good,
including some unions Paris I, he had to convince. The reality is quite different: twenty
activists came to Tolbiac MET with the intention to do battle, then they have not set foot
in the year. Anthony Diers took a hit after hit himself an activist South Student - which
is not really "beating by individuals equipped with iron bars," which has been described.
The fourth student, he was prosecuted for violence, actually committed by vigilantes who
attacked a meeting he organized, seriously injuring a student. These private security
guards went to throw chairs at students. No action was given, again, by the university.
Not surprising that the guards of Paris VIII feel entitled to attack students for free.
Paris I did not protect his students but does not lose an opportunity to try to get rid of
troublemakers, understand trade unionists. In fact, four students have been common all
union activists. Student at South for the first three and the fourth UNEF. Difficult to
believe in coincidence. Three of them are even elected to the university. The survey,
conducted wholly dependent, full of vices and procedures confirms the targeting those
deemed too restless.
Get rid of troublemakers
The coarse assembly file could not be entirely illusion and two student activists from
South were released after five months of procedure. The third was excluded one year
suspended sentence, while the fellow was expelled UNEF year closes. At these sanctions are
in addition various pressures, the catching up (and year) failed to submit to appraisal
fees. The university vice pushes up demand payment of photocopying and mailing by
registered A / R disciplinary records. Today, the continued mobilization for the lifting
of sanctions and reinstatement of Comrade excluded. Punishment will not make us silent.
Two general meetings have been held at Tolbiac against the anti-union actions and budget
austerity college wants to adopt.
A. (Paris North East)
[ 1 ] Student Branch of the Kingdom. Very right organization created after May 68 with the
support bag.
