On Tuesday night, in one of their unbearable chains election campaign, Chavez decreed approve all university scholarships from 200 bolivars today to the level of the 400 students receiving Bs University Bolivariana.
promised also meet the requirements of improving and expanding university canteens as well as transport of these houses of study.
At no time was referred to the hunger strike star university students in different parts of the country, but look what happened, including the claims claimed by the strikers, stand the three. So the decisions announced by Chavez can not be separated from the courageous initiative of the boys and girls, as well as some teachers , who launched the hunger strike and have already achieved a first concrete result.
Although not openly acknowledged, implicitly Chacumbele had to admit that faces an opponent whose determination and courage once again he bent his arm. antiuniversitaria policy regime has suffered a new setback.
There are still outstanding issues, including no small from the salaries of teachers and employees, but the dramatic image of the young people who sewed his lips indicating that these young people are willing to go very far in his college commitment to democratic, autonomous, tolerant and open to the country we all love. From here we welcome and support their courage and sacrifice.
On the other hand, insists on the fence Chacumbele universities. In this effort does not give up, and be forced to make concessions. Knowing that between teachers and students back is trivial is appealing to confront some of the employees and workers with university chancellors authorities. So suddenly groups of workers "take" the UCV University Council last Tuesday, demanding the satisfaction of their claims .
deliberately made the mad at the fact that the problem is precisely that the authorities can not meet the financial commitments to their workers because the government has frozen three years ago university budgets and no money with which meet the economic demands or not, hiring freezes teachers and workers. The "employer" of these workers is not the College Board.
The real "boss" is the government and it is who is to reclaim . The crude attempt to attack the authorities rectories, as if these were responsible for the economic needs of universities, aims to divert attention from the real culprit. The universities have no more income than the national budget.
If the government fails in its duty, the universities have no where to get the money that Chacumbele denied. I posed the "Thomist" last Tuesday is a trick to divide the struggle of the university.
