Riot Police block students, Grenoble
Student breakaway march, Grenoble
- Thursday November 22: demo of coed and high-school girls.
- Wednesday November 21: AG of 4000 people ends in the renewal of blocking.
- Tuesday November 20: 15,000 people in the street, railwaymen at the head, coeds and high-school girls in tail (about 3000 students). Riot police blocked the students and high-school pupils at the Gambetta boulevard declaring the demonstration illegal. Wanting to get rid of the 'ambient stagnation' of the trade-union demonstrations, students launched a wild demonstration moving towards the station. Dustbins were overturned then uprightted by other students. (Doesn't sound very wild!! Typist)
- November 16: the inter-union one of the Universities of Grenoble produces an official statement in which it denounces, in particular, the recourse to the police force.
Here a summary of the events of the week.
- Thursday November 15: the Grenoble-native railwaymen vote taken to back strike in AG where a delegation intervened. That evening even, CRS and the VAT, expel a second attempt at occupation, this time at the University Joseph Fourier (sciences).
- Wednesday November 14: the coeds join (under the rain) with the strikers of the SNCF and GEG.
- Tuesday November 13: total blocking and occupation of the campuses adopted with AG of 1000 people. The occupation that evening is prevented by the vigils of the UPMF, then expelled by CRS with Stendhal (video). 3 people are put in guard-with-sight to have requisitioned material for the strike pickets.
- Thursday November 8: At the time of AG coed, the strike is voted but not for total blocking.
- Wednesday October 17: first AG resident of Grenoble is held. It is followed by one day of blocking and action.
