In the midst of the uncertainty generated by the lack of transfer of funds from the National Teacher Incentive Fund (FONID)the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francosfaced the situation and ratified the position of the National government regarding the payment of teacher salaries, holding the provinces responsible. The government decision has caused concern regarding the imminent start of classes throughout the country.
Francos especially questioned the situation in the province of Buenos Aires, where unions have expressed their discontent over the lack of a call for the national teachers’ union. «The responsibility for education lies with the provinces«the minister insisted.
Roberto Baradel, head of Suteba, reappeared on scene to express his concern, ensuring that Javier Milei’s administration has “the political decision to cut the salaries of teachers throughout the country.” However, Francos minimized his statements, pointing out that Baradel leads a union related to politics and his words are worthless.
«Baradel’s words have no value because, with the strikes they made to the government of Daniel Scioli or María Eugenia Vidal, and that it was zero to the government of (Axel) Kicillof, this indicates that Baradel leads a union related to politics. For me, what he says has no value,” Francos reiterated in La Nación +.
The Minister of the Interior insisted that “the responsibility for education lies with the provinces” and stressed that the national State is not involved in the salary discussion, claiming that it is the responsibility of the provinces. Furthermore, he emphasized that “What the President says is that he is not going to get involved in the salary that the provinces agree on because it is a province’s responsibility.”«.
In relation to other union claims, Francos affirmed that the Government will follow what is established by law and maintained that the sector’s claims must be accompanied by changes in a system that currently limits the hiring of personnel by employers.
Regarding the economic situation, the minister highlighted the financial surplus according to data from the Ministry of Economy and affirmed that the President is fulfilling his campaign promises. “Having zero deficit is an objective that the President is not going to negotiate and that will cause inflation to fall,” Francos expressed in dialogue with José Del Río.
In another vein, following the failure of the omnibus law in the Chamber of Deputies and the differences with some governors, Francos stressed the need to channel the relationship within the framework established by the president at this time of crisis. He acknowledged that an understanding can be reached with some provincial leaders, but he made special mention of Axel Kicillof, reminding him that the people elected Milei and that Milei is the one who governs in accordance with what was stated in his campaign.
