Six young peopleaged between 18 and 22, were arrested by the Military Police (PM) after breaking into a building on Monday (8) in the University City of the University of São Paulo (USP), in the west zone of the city. The group of students clashed with military police officers who were trying to release access to the site, which was closed with barricades. During the conflict, three security guards from the university were injured and needed medical attention at the University Hospital.
The police dispersed the students and seized materials such as fireworks, clubs, radio communicators, megaphone, sledgehammer e slingshot. Expertise was called and confirmed damage to furniture e institution equipment.
The young people were taken to the 7th Police District, in Lapa, where the case was registered as serious bodily injury e damage to public property. They were released after giving statements.
End of the strike
The attempted invasion occurred during the process of ending the strike, which began on April 14. In an assembly held on Monday, USP students approved the recommendation to end the strike.
The definitive closure now depends on individual assemblies per course. The strike movement has been weakened, with units such as Right, Medicine ea Polytechnic School having already resumed activities. According to a survey by the Rectory, 24 units have regular classeswhile 19 Maintain Some Level of Standstill.
The strike aims to demand improvements to the Student Permanence and Training Support Program (Papfe), conditions of university restaurants, student housing ea recomposition of the staff at the University Hospital.
In May, the strike was joined by teachers and employees, but the employees ended the movement after obtaining salary advances.
The main financial divergence lies in the stay assistance. Currently, the values range from R$335 to R$885. USP proposed an adjustment according to the IPC-FIPE, raising the ceiling to R$912. The students, however, want the aid to be R$1,804, a value corresponding to the minimum wage in São Paulo.
The dean of USP, Aluisio Segurado, stated that the university maintained open trading channels and declared that the continuity of the student movement had political motivations directed at the state government.
