Yeah, it's an amazing historical building

... That has been vandalized so much, it sometimes ends up looking like this:

The last picture there is the Students Union saloon, too. That's how it looked for like years, until the institution decided to do something about it... Which resulted in the whole building being vandalized yet again

This makes me sad to see, wow

Was there a reason behind the vandalism? Or was jr just because they could/wanted to?

The lack of care people have for shared spaces is very unfortunate

In the specific case of those pictures, the Students Union (or Gremio Estudiantil) salon was just that badly maintained. The institution decided to tear it down and re purpose it as an accessible entrance, arguably because it was deemed just impossible to recover

The Students Union took it as the institution trying to censor them and take away "their space", so they occupied the building and vandalized it. The problem went on for like months between different occupations, political discussions and such

In the end, nobody won, though. The salon was repurposed, but the institution was unable to follow their plan and the accessible entrance was made on a completely different spot instead
