History

Small chicks grow up! These days, it’s hard to imagine university politics without Lijst Calimero. However, twelve years ago, Lijst Calimero started small. On May 30, 2005, Lijst Calimero was founded by one brave student, who wanted to shake student representation at the UG. At the time, the students in the University Council were organised in two established parties. One was not very innovatory, the other not so constructive. Lijst Calimero started as a one man faction, hence the name: Calimero. In the following years, Lijst Calimero got bigger and bigger.
