Went to school with MY tax money. Went to university with MY tax money. Earning from MY tax money. Stopping MY children from getting a medical degree. These liars are the worst. They lie and protest so they maintain the medicine monopoly and charge more from ME.

They enter through the quota system thus depriving many much more qualified students, now they deny the rights of studying for them. Strikes and protests should be banned in public areas as they hinder the traffic flow.
