Tilburg students take no interest in occupy Tilburg protests

Tilburg University students were not lining up to occupy the Willemsplein for an Occupy Tilburg protest last Saturday. ‘No time’, ‘it has no effect’ and ‘a strange initiative’ are most mentioned reasons to stay at home, according to a small survey among Tilburg University.

Thousands of students in the world are protesting against protesting against ‘corporate greed’. The protests started on Wall Street in the United States and then spread to other cities worldwide.

In Tilburg, Peter Storm took the initiative for a Tilburg protest at het Willemsplein. About fifty protesters participated in the protest last Saturday. Occupy Tilburg protesters plan to put up tents in the city centre – at the Heuvel – next Saturday.
