The police responded by beating the student protestors and banning all public gatherings. Ignoring the ban, the student protestors then gathered at the Faculty of Philosophy, held debates and speeches on social justice, and distributed copies of the banned magazine Student. Students also protested against economic reforms, which led to high unemployment and workers leaving the country and finding work elsewhere.November 2011 In Ljubljana, more than 5000 people gathered on Prešern square.This event appears to have occurred in Serbia, not Slovenia. June 2025 They were violently dispersed by police units from Croatia using batons, tear gas and water canons. Hundreds were injured. Leading public figures, including film director Dušan Makavejev, stage actor Stevo Žigon, poet Desanka Maksimović, and numerous university professors, lent their support to the protests and in so doing found themselves running into problems in their careers because of their connections to the protests. President Josip Broz Tito gave a televised speech on June 9, which ultimately led to the cessation of the protests, as he conceded that the "students are right" and gave in to some of their demands. However, in the years that followed, he retaliated against the leaders of the protests by imprisoning students (Vladimir Mijanović, Milan Nikolić, Pavluško Imširović, Lazar Stojanović and others) and by firing critical professors from university positions and Communist party posts.That's is an outlandish claim June 2023 See also Belgrade Six The Elusive Summer of '68 Lipanjska gibanja sh sr New class Praxis School References Sources "Down with the Red Bourgeoisie of Yugoslavia: An Analysis of the June Students' Insurrection in Belgrade, Yugoslavia" (November 1968).
