The Regents of the State University of Maring?, in conjunction with the city of Maringa
and the PM, has promoted an intensified process of repression to students of EMU and in
particular to its student movement. This cycle of repression has a long history, beginning
in 2008 when the City Hall, to the service of entrepreneurs who profit from speculation,
banned the sale of alcoholic beverages in the vicinity of the EMU during vestibular
University. The city of Maringa included this measure for every day of the year, within
150m of the university people can not consume alcohol within the bars. Gradually, most of
the bars around the university was closed. Soon the PM was repressing the parties
organized in the republics of the University Garden, fining students and using violence
against these frequently.
No more having a safe place to socialize, the student movement of EMU began organizing
soirees inside the campus, where not only students, but also the residents of the suburbs
of Maringa found the only place in town where they had free access to cultural activities.
Many soirees were held on campus in the period from 2008 to 2013, and these were the stage
for local artists could exhibit his art to an audience without the purchasing power to
frequent the bars and ballads elites of Maringa. In 2011 the Dean of EMU was occupied for
eight days at the university student movement, which at the time claimed, among several
staves, improvements in the University Restaurant, construction of the Student House and a
band shell on campus to conduct activities cultural. These claims were all promised by the
Dean and the State Government, but none was fulfilled. Soon after the occupation of the
Rectory, the Rector of EMU, Julio Santiago Jr. Prates, in retaliation, began a process of
even greater repression of the student movement. Among the students who occupied the
Rectory, eight had to answer to the Federal Police, and several fellows lost their bags.
In 2012 we witnessed the growing influence of the PM within the Maringa campus, and the
following year this repression reached its peak, shedding the blood of university students.
In 2013 the PM went on to enter the campus to suppress all those who organized and
attended the soirees. Simultaneous action of the PM, the watchmen of EMU, the command of
the Rectory, began to threaten and intimidate students. Listen to the absurd, not seen
since the time of the dictatorship, a lookout threatening students with a piece of wood on
which was written "human rights." Faced with this increased repression of the PM and the
Rectory, on the night of September 5, 2013 the student movement held a rally in front of
the DCE to discuss the increasing repression and the right to carry out cultural
activities on campus. Students were surprised by a group of several lookouts EMU - most of
them without the proper identification - and when they refused to leave the campus, were
violently assaulted by guards. Among several abused students, one student had his nose
broken and a student was brutally hit in the face with a rock, having to take several
points on the face. Following is a video produced by the students who expressed that
tragic night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4bh44A28_k
The current management of the rectory of the State University of Maring? is more than
condoned this action against the students. The Dean is responsible for the violence.
Six of the students who picked vigilantes are undergoing a process of inquiry and
processed by the university for contempt, disobedience and resistance. These students are
prevented necklace degree by the end of the administrative process and risk expulsion from
the university ! It is absurd that the students themselves have been victims of violence
committed by vigilantes EMU are now being pursued administratively by the university.
The right is deeply connected to the campus of the university in the proposal consist of
teaching, research and extension. A public university should not only serve those who were
able to pass through the funnel entrance exam, it must serve the whole society and play a
role in social inclusion. In a city as elitist and exclusionary Maringa, where most of the
population lacks access to culture and cultural activities organized by the student
movement within the EMU campus, now banned by the rector, fulfilled the role of social
inclusion and promoted contact the student movement with the community outside the university.
We ordered the end of prohibition of cultural activities on campus, an end to repression
of the student movement of the EMU, the cancellation of cases against students who were
beaten and punishment of offenders.

CHARTER OF PRINCIPLES OF COLLECTIVE BREAKING WALLS
IN WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Collective Breaking Walls identifies the organizational basis of movements
social should be performed based on the following principles:
SELF-MANAGEMENT - form of organization that aims at the participation and performance of
activities by those who are directly interested ; aims to destroy
alienation which submits in capitalist society at all levels ( political,
economic and social ) . This form is adopted by our collective because we believe that for
overcoming this based on exploitation and domination society is necessary to
creation of organizational forms that allow the rebuilding of relationships
power present in capitalism ;
DIRECT ACTION - this is a form of political action in which the movement acts on his
himself, not trusting his political bureaucrats actions , political representatives ,
MPs , parties and so on . ;
Federalism - form of organization , decentralized movement , allowing
each specific basis to analyze and understand their issues , with autonomy for their decision-
decision and control . We can not fail to forget , yes , libertarians
believe that the struggles have national and even global character, and should be articulated
nationally, regionally ( Latin America) and worldwide federative form .
In which each base takes his position in a decentralized manner and articulates the struggles
together to create a centrality . So resizing relations
of power and enabling the direct participation of the base as a means of taking the decision
DIRECT DEMOCRACY .
Horizontality operates against the bureaucratic logic of organization where
appear leaders and led , this maintains the essence of libertarian practice ; where
delegated representations refer to the collective, just as declaim
our fellow Zapatistas : " obeying" .
Classism , SOCIAL CLASS AND INTERNATIONALISM
As part of the exploited classes that are, fought side by side with / of the
" Low " , ie all / the the / the exploited / as, in pursuit of a socialist society
and libertarian . In this sense our solidarity is class , the class that
chose this and more not " respect " national borders
