here we are: generation zero-interested. it’s the second term we don’t have  university fees and there are people over people, who started to study this year, which is really thrilling and great for a country.

but if the circumstances – that everyone can manage to visit the courses, cause they are overcrowded, so you can’t even find a place in the auditorium or you have no chance to register in a lecture – is not given, then our dear government and science minister have to do something.

people always say, that the students in our country are lazy and not interested in things, but now especially our dear students of vienna have reached a point of not being silent, of telling their opinions and occupied the largest auditorium of vienna. it’s the second day of demonstration.

the press, the government and a hell of a lot of people think that this is only a momentary enthusiasm, which is going down. some of the law students are annoyed couse they don’t have any lectures today.

it seems that in austria not the right of education for everyone is given, especially in the last years it looks like in austria the elite is important. the best, the fastest and the brightest students are accepted. especially science is important. not science of education or social works studies. it’s only the science stuff and law, which counts. that’s important for the economy.

and if you have a closer look at this for the later situation, you can see that the focus lies not longer on the people of austria, but on the economy and money.

hopefully we’re starting some demo-actions in the rest of austrians university too. that people of this country see, that this is about the students future. and not about being lazy, crazy or what the hell they are thinking.
