UNEF had, as of on February 7th, 2006, called with the blocking of certain faculties (especially in Rennes II from where the movement left). The movement of blocking spread until the moment of the elections in March 2006, which made impossible the opening of very many polling stations for the elections CROUS.

The UNEF partly lost control on the movement, and the blocking of the ballot boxes in faculties pro-UNEF put at evil its opportunities for the elections. On the other hand, the other lists candidates, in particular those carried by FAGE or the PLAIN gained enormously in this situation, maintaining on the ground the opened polling stations, as private individuals in their best " fiefs".

In almost all the university areas in France, disorders took place in the polling stations. The UNEF carried felt sorry for in many academies to make cancel these elections.

Reaction of FAGE: " They are not ordinary elections, but they are true elections and the elected officials are legitimate. Not in it to take part would have meant to deny the play démocratique".

Reaction of the PLAIN : " We condemn the hypocrisy of the UNEF which, last spring, had called with the boycott of the elections with the CROUS and had orchestrated illegal blockings of universities, before carrying felt sorry for in front of the administrative courts under pretext which the participation had fallen and which the conditions of vote were not optimal. The fault with which! "
