Bungehuis is still busy © Rink Court
The evacuation of the Bungehuis seemed imminent, but the cops were still far away. SP MP Jasper van Dijk finds it incomprehensible that the board of the University of Amsterdam is not willing to engage in conversation with the students
.
Meanwhile, it is quiet in the Bungehuis Spuistraat. People lying on the ground to sleep, others view the new flyers and tidy in the kitchen. The atmosphere is a bit like a school trip. “Hello! Are you again? ” asks one of the occupiers who gives a tour to a group of girls, who look a lot fresher than the rest. ‘Yup! Again fully charged, “replied one of them. In her hand she has a sleeping bag and a large bag on her back.
After the lawsuit on Thursday seemed imminent eviction; the court held that it had to be finished in a week-long occupation. But the ME stayed away. So the occupiers continue their action and they even throw some oil on the fire by demanding resign by Monday 12:00 of the Executive Board. If not, there will be a trial for mismanagement and other actions threaten them.
Penalty
In the meantime, every day should be brought together thousands of euros for the penalty. The first thousand euros was Thursday already inside when the Central Works ladder which one can enter the building, “bought.” “The Executive Board has no basis within the university, other parties such as the Central Works Council expressed their support to us.
There is no longer listened to teachers and students, “says one of the students in the Bungehuis. She has been the main part of the present occupation. Has she been home? “No, I came here Monday and never left.” And showering then? Grinning, “Yes, that shoots a little at at.” Recent days was a day made a program of lectures, film screenings and debates. Last night there was less to do. “We are especially Thursday spent the possible evacuation, so for today we can arrange little,” says the busy star that gives the tour.
In fact, no one had expected that the occupation would last longer than the weekend. ‘Monday had once again people to college, but fortunately most of them came back. ” In the cafeteria of the Bungehuis hangs a left atmosphere, everyone is clearly a bit to recover from Thursday night. “Most of us have been up all night. We have gathered a lot about what we would do if the ME would come, ‘says the ongedouchte student.
Paranoid
Ask yourself whether they were afraid of Thursday, you will get different answers. The one found it actually cozy “We have spent the entire evening together.” But another student is starting to frown as he talks on Thursday: “Everyone was completely paranoid. People just kept making plans about what to do. ”
Not so crazy anyway, when the ME each time the door can stand? “Well, but if it happens, you can still do is your best. ‘ The non-showered student: ‘It was the busiest night, there were about three hundred people came to the press conference. So it was a bit of a mess. ” Is she not a bit afraid of the evacuation?
In fact, little has changed for us since the lawsuit, the threat of eviction was there all week. We continue our struggle against the Executive Board. “
