\u2018Are we fucking mad?\u2019<\/h2>

1:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Despite the rain, people are streaming onto the Malieveld, some seeking shelter under umbrellas. They carry flags representing their organisations or protest signs. On a large screen beside the stage, the text reads: \u201cHO! Kabinet sloopt hoger onderwijs<\/em>\u201d (\u2018STOP! The government is destroying higher education\u2019). At the edge of the field, booths from various unions like FNV and AOb are set up.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre we fucking mad or not?\u201d With these words, Amsterdam-based rapper Benjamin Fro kicks off the protest. The crowd cheers and dances to his music, raising their protest signs high. The atmosphere is friendly, almost festival-like.<\/p>\n\n\t
