Lecturers and researchers wanted to make their presence felt ahead of the elections, said the protest movement WOinActie and the trade unions AOb and FNV. On Monday, around a hundred people gathered at Dom Square in Utrecht despite the stormy weather.
A large tent was set up at the square, where everyone could follow the election debate. This was preceded by several speeches, including speeches by representatives of the left-wing parties GroenLinks-PvdA (Green Left-Labour Party), D66 and SP (Socialist Party). The debate was also discussed afterwards.
The trade unions immediately announced a new protest. On Tuesday, December 9, they will go on strike and demonstrate in Amsterdam. Their demand: the next cabinet must reverse the budget cuts and invest more in education and science.
