00:24We also want to see what's happening in the US,

00:29now in Australia, and we hope it will continue here in France

00:33because the university world really has a role to play

00:36in what's happening in Palestine and in the current genocide.

00:38We are very happy that more and more universities are mobilizing.

00:42We hope it will spread beyond Sciences Po,

00:45in all trans universities and especially beyond universities.

00:48Because youth has been very mobilized on the issue for months

00:52and so we will not give up, we will continue to mobilize

00:55in the days, weeks and months to come

01:34We find ourselves locked up for three hours, unable to get out.

01:37We find ourselves being several,

01:41wanting to claim things that we cannot,

01:43given that the police prevent us from doing so.
