Why It Matters
The students protest against the management of the university and ask for funds for the university rather than for the war.
Brief moments of tension in front of the rectorate of the University of Turin, where the students who occupied the Einaudi Campus until this morning ask for a meeting with the rector Cristina Prandi.
After more than an hour in which protesters and law enforcement remained in front of each other, some students attempted to force the police cordon. Pushing ensued and the attempt was repelled by the police.
The Digos seized the banner displayed by the demonstrators, on which was written "We don't sell out, money goes to the university and not to the war. Prandi resignation". “While we ask to speak to the rector, she makes the police beat us,” the students said. The protest takes place while an extraordinary session of the Academic Senate is scheduled.
