La fin du blocage

The 'blocage' was stopped because of a ballot. This 'blocage' thing is all about the application of a reform to the academic system in France. That's why the vote included two questions:
1. Application of the law: Yes or No
2. Stopping the 'blocage': Yes or No

Here the result:

  • Pour la loi LRU : 671 (soit 21,5%)
  • Contre la loi LRU : 2456 (soit 78,5%)
  • Pour le blocage : 1349 (soit 42.7%)
  • Contre le blocage : 1808 (soit 57.3%)
A big majority is against the reform and a small majority against the 'blocage'.
The president of the university is accepting the vote against the 'blocage' but not against the reform that is that he will call the police if there would be any attempts to block the university. And this has happened already. On the whole that means more political actions will take place on the campus.
