Chilean students protest against the government of Jose A. Kast
Voor demonstraties op de universiteit gelden geen andere regels dan op andere plekken in de stad, zei burgemeester Bruls in een debat op de campus. ‘Als u wil dat ik studenten anders ga behandelen als NEC-supporters dan moet u een andere burgemeester zoeken.’
Today in Labor History May 28, 1968: Students occupied the University of Madrid (still under control of fascist dictator Francisco Franco). Cops raided the campus and removed the occupiers, and then shut down the University. At the time, all political parties had been banned, except the Falange. Franco had banned all protests and labor unions, too. Thousands had been rounded up and tortured, imprisoned or killed. Like much of the world at the time, a New Left movement had formed in Spain, though Spain’s was completely underground due to the repression of the dictatorship. Protests and demonstrations had been occurring for months. Most were met with violent repression and imprisonment.

Today in Labor History May 22, 1968: New York police broke through the barricades at Columbia University, busting the student occupations there. As a result, 998 were arrested and over 200 injured. Students were demanding a black studies program and an end to military recruitment and ROTC on campus. Sound familiar? However, today’s student protests are bringing back the worst of 1960s-‘70s police brutality and university intolerance for Free Speech along with McCarthy era firing, blacklisting and doxing of academics for the crime of criticizing the Israeli government, under bogus claims of antisemitism.

Today in Labor History May 15, 1969: Police fought students in the Battle for People's Park at the University of California Berkeley, California. The battle was over a small strip of land that the students had claimed as community commons. Governor Ronald Reagan sent in National Guards to reclaim the Park. Police gunfire killed a bystander, James Rector, and wounded 60 others, including Alan Blanchard, who was blinded for life. Street fighting continued for 17 days. Another 150 demonstrators would be shot and wounded. The battle for the park has continued ever since, with the university continuing to claim ownership and threatening to turn the park into everything from units of student housing to a parking lot. The defenders of the park have done numerous direct actions over the past 55 years to defend the park, provide mutual aid, provide free food and clothes to unhoused folks, and offer community classes. In 1992, cops shot and killed Park Defender Rosebud Denovo, after she broke into the basement of the residence of UC Berkeley Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien. As recently as 2024, the cops have attacked, beaten, and/or arrested park defenders. Also in that year, the California Supreme Court sided with the University and its plans to build student housing on the park. In 2025, the university announced that the new housing would be named after Disability Rights activist Judy Heumann.
