Danger

Danger

I should point out that the constant action of government spies makes it dangerous to have conversations which, even indirectly, bear upon political subjects. Despite this, students have made common cause with the arrested, and have at least made clear their repugnance of the government action—this is the type of attitude which the authorities classify as "political activity."

But this is absolutely unavoidable, since government intervention makes every university problem a political affair. With only one student organisation permitted, professors without academic qualifications, all activities curtailed, almost no social assistance and the negation of university autonomy, the resolution of any university problem goes beyond the purely student in Spain.
