2 mai 2012 à Québec - Media reseauforum.org

Depuis maintenant une semaine, le mouvement étudiant à Québec manifeste tous les jours. Ce sont désormais des manifestations dites nocturnes, vers 20 h où il y a peu de trafic et bien des gens à la maison.

Considérant l'impasse politique et ce qui ressemble à un début de conflit social, nous avons demandé à cinq personnes, participant à cette manifestation, quelle orientation le mouvement étudiant devrait-il adopter.

Ce mercredi 2 mai, nous estimons que 350 personnes se sont jointes à cette marche nocturne contre la hausse des frais de scolarité. La foule s'est réunie à l'Assemblée Nationale pour ensuite marcher un long trajet passant par René-Lévesque, la Grande Allée, traversant un quartier de Sillery, pour finalement revenir à l'Assemblée nationale. Tout le long du trajet, des gens sortaient sur leur balcon pour saluer cette bruyante marche.
