President Javier Milei used his social networks to express himself about the massive mobilization that took place in Plaza de Mayo to demand more funds for public universities. In his statement he confirmed that the budget for the operation of the study houses will be guaranteed, but he denounced a political use of the claim.
With the title “Noble Causes. Dark motives", the president published a text on his social networks in which he denounced that in yesterday's mobilization "we saw how, once again, those who intend to continue living at the expense of Argentines relied on a lie to promote their interests." . Aside from the discussion about which model of higher education is desirable for a country in which six out of every ten children under 14 years of age are poor, the same people as always used the shield of a noble-sounding cause to defend their interests. of caste.”
“At no time did the national government hint at its intention to close national universities. Far from it, the day before yesterday's demonstration the transfer of resources for the operating expenses of all national universities had been made. But since the political class does not miss any opportunity to defend its privileges, they mounted a purely political act of opposition to the government on a fair slogan,” he added.
Javier Milei spoke after the massive march through public universities
In that sense, he pointed out against leaders of Peronism, radicalism and unions: "Yesterday we saw the same faces as always of those who want Argentina not to change to defend its privileges." Furthermore, he accused them of not defending education, but rather “they defend their privileges and use society to do so. They did it with Aerolíneas, they did it with retirees when they stole funds from the AFJP, they did it with YPF, they do it with public works. This is how caste operates. "They mount a fair flag to dispossess the Argentines."
“The difference now is that the majority of Argentines elected a President to end the privileges of politicians. We are not going to be complicit in the business that some do with the public university. We are going to guarantee funds for the operation of universities and we are going to audit how those funds are used. Because that money arises from the efforts made by the majority of Argentines who live below the poverty line and cannot and should not be used to fatten the pockets of some who have made a business out of public education. Far from bowing us down, every time all those leaders, who are the face of Argentine failure, gather behind a flag, the only thing they do is reaffirm our conviction that we are fighting the battles for which the majority of Argentines elected us. ”, he concluded.
Columns of protesters mobilized towards Plaza de Mayo
