Despite the promise not to create new links, the KU Leuven has concluded new partnerships with Israeli institutions, denounce the demonstrators. “”This is a blatant violation of the Ku Leuven non-cooperation policy with the Israeli government“, avance Nicolas Vallaey.
“Our claims comply with international law. It is not only of our moral duty but also of our legal duty to put an end to this policy. As long as our university will maintain and support these links, we will oppose it. Genocide and ethnic cleaning constitute a red line for us“.
The demonstrators ask the future rector, who must be elected in May, to give a new orientation to the policy of collaboration with immoral institutions.
