Walkie Talkie Alpha Bravo
Contrary to what happened in the last days in the Department of Performing Arts, students self-summoned to fight, now grouped in the MEPA in conjunction with independent students, we feel the need to express our experience and our analysis the facts. It seems to us grossly obvious you're listening to just a bell about the conflict in the school. The days of repudiation and reflection of the violence took place in an undemocratic manner and were supported and directed by those who from the beginning of September, took part in the Assemblies with the discourse of plurality and democracy.
Guttural Scream's call to use the distinctive blue ribbon to differentiate students' anti-take "of other students at least seems fascist and polarization generated by symbols of belonging, and thus simplifies towards a single enemy to complete emptying of a political confrontation.
not conceive that our own colleagues, those who are part of the faculty and student refused the word with applause quieted those voices who tried to bring a different perspective to the blue ribbons. And further repudiate the attitude of some school counselors, members of the faculty and teachers are not supported and encouraged this attitude.
Since this conflict began, students organize ourselves to carry on the fight of the students were verbally attacked openly in the meetings, in classrooms and hallways, disparagingly called "Trots", "Nazis", "punks "or" merqueros "for our teachers, not teachers, some counselors, and even some students.

We made mistakes in this last time because of inexperience and never for bad faith. From our mistakes in the action we have learned and are learning every day. But what we do not repent of is our policy stance. If at first we identify with the struggle of other departments and with the struggle of students of other universities and educational institutions in the country is because we felt firsthand not only the faults of our situation particularly if we take possession but also the faults of other students. Public education is in crisis. The National Government is spending millions of dollars to pay foreign debt, to finance private companies and subsidize much of private education, while poor budgets earmarked for education and public health. The walls of the headquarters of Yatay be electrified when it rains, which closed a building through a crack Visuals that stretches across the wall, dropping a window of the social power of the UBA in the middle hall, which collapsing roofs and side walls, which in Venezuela is almost impossible to give an acting class girl in a classroom L-shape that has a column in the middle, which in French has a sign saying that it is dangerous to stay more than twenty-five stops on the metal staircase of the new building is evidence of limited budgets and the failure of the various steps which are in the power of our educational institutions. And we're only talking about buildings.
Our public university education is elitist. There is no means for the poorer class can access it. The Bachelor in Acting is about 200 freshmen each year and are the only public University in Latin America. It is naive to believe, as suggested by the same methodology selection, the total number of applicants who fail the CPU is not being able to start the race.
"And there's more business than ours and no one knows how long we belong" Bertolt Brecht
If from the start we opposed by some school counselors and a group of teachers and teachers not the faculty, it was not our methods of struggle, but because our political stance faces the university model poses Management and carried out, and defend themselves. In our demonstrations, our street cuts and artistic workshops, we had not gotten authorities do something with our demands. Molestábamos not too much, then it was easy to declare a holiday for students will mobilize us for more budget and thus appear progressive. But students did not want a day off to speak out, wanted the university authorities take concrete action on the shortcomings of our education. In the time it takes for the other sites joined force in making the Chancellor, the authorities and representatives of the management began to promote a campaign against the struggle waged by the students of IUNA. Campaign largely based on censorship and political persecution, criminalizing struggling students, dividing the students among "Thomists" and "Thomists" and encouraging the mobilization of students are often based on lies. The speech held by some counselors, some teaching, administrative and Sandra Dean Torlucci was, at first, we all fought for the same, public education, that the problem was the way he took that fight. But no, we are fighting for a kind of public education that contrasts with the interests of management. We demand more budget to renovate the buildings and buy new ones, because we and we want that more students can access our Institute, and this touches directly the pockets of the university authorities and the Ministry of Education. Since 2005 has been declared the building industry and budgetary crisis at the University and from the footage of the venues that consistently triggered in the Chancellor's decision, we get new rental and a purchase that would solve 30% total deficit of IUNA building complex. Some
School counselors, teachers and not teachers who spoke loudly in our Assemblies of faculty, shaft ran the conflict in the educational crisis to bring us all the time to question whether or not he was making an extreme measure in the abstract. Another of the letters was used point of order, always accompanied with the suggestion "that vote now," raised to avoid the debate and reflection about what was going to vote then. It was never clear intent innocent interrupt speakers or not respecting the dynamic assemblies, just the opposite: it sought to extend these instances always raised as a constructive dialogue to end up being unhealthy.
All this created a confusion among the less informed parts of students who failed to clear lines by which to take a position and an imbalance in the moderation of the Assembly that resulted in a weakening of the Steering Committee CEADI, creating wear to demobilize when they wanted to take action the measures voted after long hours of discussions.
For all these records is that it is biased the emerging desire of these political figures in organized among the students want. Already proven they do not want to open a dialogue, discussion and reflection among the faculty student, and to sustain the discourse of polarization between pro-and anti-making takes inevitably runs the axis of the real responsible of the conflict, the Chancellor Liliana Dimaio , who does not generate after the clash on Wednesday 10 November a forum for dialogue to solve it.
believe it is intolerable that since the management is incentive for a march leading to a clash between student sectors. We have to defend our independence with all faculty and do not blur our claims and demands: free public education, unrestricted entry, multiple proposals chairs that give you the choice of a different thought, real participation in modifying the curriculum for discussion on academic improvement and not a domestic political interest among teachers in a power struggle, democratic co-government bodies, to respect the space of our trade organization is the Center Students and carry forward the just and legitimate demands of our faculty through the Council.
"Our losses only thing that shows is that few of us fought against the infamy.
If those who fight against injustice are defeated, not by this injustice right.
And viewers expect at least to feel ashamed "Bertolt Brecht
This is our position that we spread to deepen critical thinking. We therefore call for reflection, a place we know to be heard all the bells, they are not left only with what you read here or what they hear in meetings that were made in the last few days Teatrito. We all agree that unity is strength, but it is also important to know who is targeted when we demand for our public education.
invite everyone to a dialogue between peers in the Interdepartmental on Wednesday 17/10 at 19hs, at the headquarters of the Movement and Folklore in
