Slovenian students violently protested against planned government reforms that would limit their work during studies and thus lower their income. Ljubljana, Slovenia 19/05/2010
The protest began in Slovenian capitol Ljubljana's city center where about 15,000 students gathered to protest against the planned government reforms that would limit the amount of work they can do alongside their studies. This would further worsen their financial situation on top of the negative stipend politics of Slovenian government. In the afternoon, they moved in front of Slovenian parliament building where they started throwing stones, eggs, signposts or anything that could be thrown into the parliament building or the police. On several occasions they attacked the police that responded with pepper spray. Eventually, they caused severe damage to the parliament building, many windows were broken, a molotow was thrown in front of the building, about 30 students were arrested.
