The City Police were on the scene following the demonstration. However, the students were firm in their defense of public education and the need to continue organizing to face the Government’s adjustment.
In front of the historic headquarters of the CGT, they demanded that the labor union call a national strike to redouble the struggle and take steps to build unity between workers and students to tear down the entire adjustment plan of the libertarian government.
