Traditional claims settlement method University The claims to “take over power” are blocked by the main student groups: the Purple Strip itself, led by the Argentine University Federation (FUA) and the University Federation of Córdoba (FUC), as well as groups associated with different variants of Peronism. Over time, political analysis shows that the “climate of the times” requires new strategies, but it also requires “open capabilities.”
The battle plan outlined at the beginning of the weekend comes against the backdrop of discussions in the National Assembly over the 2025 budget, which is expected to see deep cuts that will bring Argentina’s universities and scientific community to the brink of paralysis in the system, according to the National Interuniversity Council and the FUA.
