Institutes of Cantabria have joined the strike called for this Friday in support of the nine students and activists indicted for participating three years ago in a public protest to the former president Ignacio Diego in a visit to an event at the University of Cantabria that prevented them from entering.

Recently rejected an appeal that would open the door to a trial, although it remains to know the opinion of the public Prosecutor (the public part of the process), only accusation that would be all time the own Ignacio Diego not claimed as private prosecution, and also whether it will be accepted as evidence of the videos that deconstruct the story official of the facts.

The strike was called by the Platform in Defense of Public Education in Cantabria, and it included the stop of the activity the second time, activities, discussion on education and civil society, with concentrations of support and dissemination of photographs in social networks.

The stop was supported from various points in the geography of cantabria. From educational centers of the capital, until puntoscomo Cabezón de la Sal, Laredo, Puente San Miguel, Viérnoles, Santoña or Castro Urdiales. In the IES La Albericia in Santander, for example, is carried out a concentration massively supported by the student body.

The students of various centres has been sent to the assembly #PreguntarNoEsDelito its conclusions to the discussions made during the break around the justice and education in our society.

conclusions arise from reflections as the dependence of the Justice of the political power, the need to mobilize against injustice and stand in solidarity with the victims of the same, and the convenience of the public school to increase their role as inciting the collective reflection and critical thinking.

For his part, in Building inter faculty of the University of Cantabria, held a debate on the role that education can play, with the question: "what Is education a motor of social transformation?".

The students have received the support of the CEAPA, the Spanish Confederation of Associations of Parents of Students, who branded the situation "nonsense" and argues that defendants "have provided enough evidence to make it clear that they do not commit any of the crimes they are accused of".

"Situations like this are a drift very worrying that endangers the most basic rights that society must uphold and transmit to more young people, instead of criminalizarles for performing them", added in a statement in which you show your support rambién to the initiative of the stop of education.

And also of the Board of education of Cantabria, maximum consultative organ in the field of non-university education in our Autonomous Community, which brings together parents, associations, unions, and students, and who has expressed his "solidarity" with the 9 young people charged in the case, Asking Is Not a Crime.

The Council considers that it is not "fair" the situation faced by the 9 young people "simply for trying to participate" in an act "to which you were denied access without any justification". Also considering that "the only crime" of the young, was "to raise his voice in favor of public education".

on the other hand, received the criticism of New Generations of the Partido Popular de Cantabria, who accused them of making "a public protest to justice" and defended the former president Ignacio Diego is not a claimant in the process, although it was complainant of the facts.

is Not the only issue related to the freedom of expression and participation that has raised concern in recent times: the councillor of ACPT Iván Martínez has been condemned by the cleaning and occupation for cultural activities of the solar into disuse and abandonment of Space Argumosa, in Torrelavega. There is a campaign of autoinculpación to show support.
