Pacos arrives

Hello,

My task today is write about anything, and i had chosed the entry of special forces to our University in the last two weeks, because i think is a very important issue.

Well, my intention is not talk about the "events", those are symptoms of other problem, the university space autonomy that is affected by the police action, in this case allowed by the Goverment and a law that give almost every power to special forces... the "antiterrorista" (anti-terrorist).

University, as we know is a space of freedom of speech and thought, and that freedom is insured by the autonomy of that space, everyone can enter to it and feel theirselves safe because no one can damege you because of what you think. So, the safety of students is the support of the freedom and when the oppresor forces can enter without any permission to that place, they broke the safety enviroment. They support a policy of fear, and this is because with fear you can be sure that the "dangerous" thoughts diminished and the radicals get more radical, generating the motive to do new raids and so keep the fear endless.

It's impossible to tolerate situations like the recents, because this can only take us to a crisis, but not an "inmaterial" crisis, we can see as always how people throw stones to impossible targets, but what's next?
The untrust in institutions like Police is already a reality, so the respect for them and their work is nonexistent, what is the difference between stones and molotovs? Just the access to them.

If we don't want to see more violence, we can't allowed the abuse of authority no longer, Police exist to avoid crime, not to silence the critical thoughts, that time passed (i suppose).

    I'm agree with you... I think that the "policial action" is very depressing because they violate our spaces, our liberty...

    I feel sad with this situation =(
