During the student and the protests demonstrations yestarday in Ljubljana several people were hurt, 30 demonstrators were arrested and nine police officers were hurt. They demonstrated against the new proposal for the law that limit number of hours of student work and abolishe student grants and pupils snacks. Demonstrators, through a police cordon at parliament, threw flares, Molotov cocktails, granite cubes, eggs, bottles and sticks, braking all windows of parliament and sculptures at entrance, reports B92. Secretary General of Parliament Mojca Prelesnik said that the damage they caused is estimated about 27,000 euros and added that the parliament building has insurance for such cases (15,000 euro) and added that the rest of the money needed to renovate parliament will have to provide a student organization that organized the protest.
It is somewhat important to know the context of this "attack". On that day, the Anarchist Federation decided to ignore the protest which was organized by the Student Organization (bureocratic fucks). The people who destroyed were drunk pupils and nazi kids. As confusing as that is. Sure, that awful building, the "symbol of democracy", had to be destroyed. It was a beutiful sight. However, the act itself made enough of a buzz to keep the spectacle happy. It was unreflected and it had no articulation whatsoever.
