Dear activists in Spain,

I am a student from the Philipps university in Marburg (Germany). We have been struggling against the introduction of tuition fees and the commercialisation of education (as part of the Bologna Process) in the past few years as well. Ten of thousands protested, blocked highways, city centres, railway stations and university buildings.

Some students from Germany, Greece and France are trying to organize a europeanwide or at least international strike. They want to start with three or four universities from different countries in Europe and then hope that other universities will follow.

It is really great to see that students in Spain are fighting against the Bologna process as well. In 2007 students protested in over 30 countries all over the world: fading-hope.blog-city.com/international_student_protests_2007.htm

We need to coordinate protests internationally to increase our pressure.

There are various ways of getting connected internationally. There is a group on facebook: www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24722765003 and you can also join an international mailing list: lists.riseup.net/www/info/student_struggles

When you join the mailing list, then please use it to tell the others what protests are taking place in Spain. We need to exchange more information and let students across Europe and the world know, that students in many countries are protesting!!

In Solidarity~
Mo.
