March in defense of the right to education in Colombia

On the 12th of October students from several public universities of Colombia marched to defend the right to education. They denounced the actions of the state that push private universities with public resources, with resources intended to support the public universities. In Medellín several youth tried to enter the Alpujarra Administrative Center, resulting in clashes with the police.

The comrades taking part in the mobilisation also highlighted important elements, amongst other things "by overcoming the limits of bourgeois legality, two tendencies present themselves: those who reject the way of creating facts and propose to keep the struggle in the narrow legal framework, and those who want to go further, since they understand that rights can only be conquered this way."
