While the arrests were confirmed for “those who refused to prove” their belonging to the university. The university leaders explained that they had requested police intervention because the occupation, which began with a student demonstration, had reached “intolerable” levels, also due to the “infiltration of professional activists who have no connection with NorthEastern », said Renata Nyul, vice president of the university in charge of communications.
