In Buenos Aires, the epicenter of the mobilization, protesters gathered in front of Congress before marching towards Casa Rosada, the seat of government. Amid slogans and slogans, they expressed their strong opposition to the 70% budget cut proposed by President Javier Millay, which threatens the stability and accessibility of higher education in the country.
What is happening demonstrates the solidarity and determination among Argentines to defend their public university system, which many see as a critical avenue for social mobility and national development.
“It is a march in which one watches in a sad and anguished way, we are not going happily,” University of Buenos Aires (UBA) rector Ricardo Gelpi said hours before the march began. Gelpi defended the ideological pluralism of a free university that has more than 300,000 students and leads the Latin American rankings in various disciplines. “The issue of indoctrination, with all due respect, sounds a bit ridiculous to me,” Gelpi replied to Milei on Radio Rivadavia.
“We are here to defend our right to education,” said Julián Araoz, a student from Tucumán, as reported by EFE, underscoring the importance of preserving and revitalizing the public university sector. “Before, it was possible to study. Our university worked, had a budget to match and our professors were paid their salaries. But now, it’s getting difficult.”
