| Message | Today there are 7 public universities that are with student protests, that are under the government of the students themselves and that this "usurpation" of the power would end if the students found the answers to their specific requests. And what they ask is simple, that the same rights that they can enjoy, all citizens can access. And it is remarkable the fact that they are public universities. What is the point of a university that maintains the state if it is not accessible? The education system is one of the most "cheap" in the world, less than 3% of GDP is going to education. This will obviously be reversed in the long term. Does it make sense to invest 7% of GDP in something that citizens can not access? This parliament must solve the crucial problems and decide with certainty the doubts that exist today. Let no one talk about possibilities, when what we have to talk about is capacity. And capacity only exists when there is an effective and guaranteed right. It is time to take a crucial and real step, to listen to the students who today continue their protests after 4 years and to join the nations that have taken off for inclusive policies like these.

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
