The protest action takes place a week before the start of student classes at ten schools and universities in the country and three weeks before the action to block the gas terminal in Sines.
“Governments have long been throwing our future into the garbage of a burning planet, and we know they will continue to do so because they are driven by profit. We must put our future in our hands and fight for it. ., him,” said the students.
The protest comes a week marking the 30th anniversary of a historic protest in which students showed their tails saying “Unpaid” to the then education secretary against higher tuition fees.
