On the sunny square, free fries were distributed to the protesters. Cheerful nineties songs filled the air.<\/p>\n<p>Many people wandered around with homemade signs and banners. \u201cThis is my very first demonstration\u201d, said a third-year sociology student. \u201cIt feels really good to be here together with everyone and to make our voices heard. There are such severe cuts; I\u2019m afraid my course will simply no longer exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A group of students stood nearby. \u201cThe cuts are ridiculous\u201d, said a student from Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. A fellow student next to her held a cardboard sign reading \u201cmaybe we can rent our diplomas in the future\u201d. \u201cThis is about our future\u201d, she added.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Generations<\/h2><p>The group of demonstrators was very diverse. Lecturers and researchers joined in, with both Dutchies and internationals present. On stage, city councillors, the chairs of the university and hogeschool, union members, and lecturers addressed the crowd. \u201cIt is very important that we are here today\u201d, said Mina Morko\u00e7, a city councillor for GroenLinks in Rotterdam and a law student herself. She is one of two students on the municipal council. \u201cThe cuts will affect not just education, but also the generations after us. Not just in Rotterdam, but across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At 13.30, the march through the city began. The crowd made its presence known with drums, whistles, and chants such as \u201cStop the demolition!\u201d and \u201cBooks, not bombs\u201d. \u201cI am very happy to be here with so many people\u201d, said a history student joining the march. Further down the pavement, a lecturer walked alongside in a \u2018naked suit\u2019. She carried a sign reading \u201cDon\u2019t strip education bare!\u201d. \u201cWhat would I say to the Prime Minister?\u201d she asked. \u201cSchoof it up your arse!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<div
