"Van of Democrats, but then they see the duster"
JAVIER SALAS MADRID 15/11/2010The dialectic of the posters is a phenomenon familiar to anyone who has ever walked the lobby of the Faculty of Law at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. But last May became the biggest thing, when the student association Francisco de Vitoria University Forum had an ultra heater in response to a banner-ei UEP (Union of Progressive Students-Students Left) that demanded the closure of the chapel faculty. "Today, as in 39, we passed" , said the cartel of the Forum. The episode generated
an escalation of events that ended with a young man in the UEP-ei cornered by a group of hooligans, some of them outside the school. "He threatened me with his fist was not a student or joke," says Mario, of pulling the cart in the association. A local group which is not in the hall associations, with the rest, but a firm "tuned" as they say, which barely fit for their assemblies. "We can not invite anyone new to have to sit on the floor," laments Mary, a member of the group. They
long called the dean of the faculty, which since 2008 boasts Raúl Canosa, better conditions. Your local lost it for ten years after one of the most serious episodes in recent history remember that power. A score of right-wing attacked three members of the UEP-ei."After the attack, issued a request for outlaw associations covering our aggressors", recalls Pablo Iglesias, one of the attacked and now a professor of Political Science at the Complutense. "But nothing happened. The problem was that they had the support of Joseph Iturmendi" charges Iglesias. Iturmendi was Dean of Law for 21 years, from 1987 until he succeeded Canosa. "Instead of isolating these associations, which had court judgments that proved his guilt, the dean decided sent into exile in the attack. And so it goes "he notes.
Without going to the violence that lived their predecessors, the current members of the only group left that faculty reported the same lack of harmony with the current dean: " It makes the gap completely, " say. Canosa publicly stated recently. When his rector, Carlos Berzosa, allowed the university hosts an act in defense of Judge Baltasar Garzón, accused by the Falange, the dean issued a note against the president . Canosa Complutense lamented that was "used to attack" the Supreme Court.
relationship with the other student groups is better than at the time of Churches, except with a couple of them, as has Mario: "Are people going to Democrats, the moderate right, but then they see the plume, as in the 39 event poster. We have no physical fear than before, but notice the tension. "
An idiot ripped a poster
These clashes do not Preo-Cupana especially in the direction of the faculty. The Associate Dean of Students, Ana Fernández-Coronado, sums it up: "Sometimes there's a fool who starts a lineup of another association. But never goes out of hand. We move into mainstream", he argues.
With respect to the claim of the premises, the associate dean also has a simple explanation, because it ensures that had actually planned a renovation on college campuses to enable new premises. "It was the first things the new dean asked me," says Fernández-Coronado. However, the lack of funds forced to postpone this.
"In its day, years ago, they pulled out of the hall as a temporary solution associations after a fight, an old thing. But now is not so bad, they have a window to the street, something that others do not "says the associate dean. Mary
gives voice to the kids in UEP-ei, which are not strongly agree with Vice Dean: "It's very uncomfortable to have a place surrounded by faculty offices, as when we have to paint a banner in the hallway in front of their noses. We want to be with our peers. "
