Cash for the facs, not for cops (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]

Remi Fraisse, killed by a grenade thrown by the police, was himself a student at Toulouse. 
In high schools and universities, the resistance is organized and protest police violence 
aggregates with broader claims. ---- A man died R?mi Fraisse, killed by a firing grenade 
attack gendarmerie the night of Saturday, October 26, on the area to defend the Testet 
occupied by the opponents and opponents of the dam Sivens. Several demonstrations were 
quickly organized in several cities in France. If pupils and students participate, you 
must wait until after the Thanksgiving holiday that can really organize a response to this 
scale. ---- Several student general assembly took place: in Caen, Grenoble, Toulouse, 
Rennes, Nantes... Except in Toulouse (see below), they are not yet widespread. As for high 
schools in ?le-de-France, as from September the independent inter-struggles Movement 
(Mili), resulting mobilizations of last year in defense of undocumented calls for 
"multiply actions, to block high schools and manifest. " On 6 November, more than twenty 
high schools are blocked and 2000 students appear. The following week, several high 
schools are blocked at Saint-Denis and riots broke out in the city center. The movement 
remains scattered and uncoordinated, but it at least shows that the police can not kill in 
general indifference.

Authoritarian turn

The various demonstrations against police violence were strongly repressed, often banned, 
challenging the right to move and to demonstrate. The protestors were gassed, beaten, 
arrested, sometimes preemptively upstream of the start of the demonstrations, even when 
peaceful. The forces multiply provocations, launched the demonstrators R?mi Fraisse "had 
deserved", "1-0"...

Safe from them, they are at war against those who dare to challenge their methods, 
supported by a government that fulfills its authoritarian turn, was not moved by the death 
of a militant, and will do anything to prevent the construction of the protest. If police 
violence are the daily class neighborhoods, where police killed more than a hundred people 
since the early 2000s, the protests were not as severely affected so far.

Overflowing the rage

On November 12, the president of the University of Rennes II decides the administrative 
closure of the campus to prevent the holding of an AG who intends to discuss the outcome 
of Rennes event. It will take place the next day, with 400 students. In Lyon are 150 
students who go to AG. November 13, 1200 Students gather at the University of Toulouse-Le 
Mirail. They write an appeal for a national day of action on 20 November.

The call goes beyond the death of R?mi Fraisse. He denounced police violence and 
repression. It condemns the dam Sivens. But it also makes the link with the budget choking 
universities and the increasing casualization of its staff, on which the fight was 
organized in Toulouse since last year: "There is money for wars and repression when he 
takes to the facs and high schools ". On November 20, the university is blocked, personal 
are on strike and ten students AG are held in other cities. They call for further 
movement. For the drop of wastewater overflow rabies.
