Nicaraguan Students Keep up Fight
The relative calm that reigns Thursday in Managua streets could be broken from tomorrow with a student meeting to define new protest actions against the illegal rise of public transport fees.

University students, who have been protesting the transport prices imposed since May, will assemble Friday to redefine their fight´s strategies.

Although the National Assembly passed a proposal for over two million dollars credit, truckers say the figure is not enough to pay their February and March debts and reduce transport tariffs to their original cost.

Protests have been staged to change the inalterable position of the Executive, which affirms the solution to the crisis concerns the Managua Mayor´s office, which says it has no funds to subsidize transport workers.

Meanwhile, the police have admitted a lack of tear gas and rubber bullets to control student riots.
