Patricia Bullrich criticized political participation in the federal university march
In advance of the mobilization throughout the country to demand more budget for national universities, the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich , described the call as “rare” and “complex”, assured that “many interests come together to want to put in check to the Government”, and announced that they will be attentive to apply the protocol if necessary.
The official made a strictly political reading of today's call by stating that " all sectors of society are needing to have a smaller budget" to get out of the economic crisis that the country is experiencing, and highlighted the participation of sectors linked to the opposition. .
“ Sergio Massa, Axel Kicillof, Hugo Yasky, Pablo Moyano : we are going to go and take care of them so that they continue pulling the rope, continue generating a situation of tension in a country that needs to get up,” said Bullrich, who also highlighted that the Government gave universities “an important budget in the last days.”
“All sectors of society are needing to have a smaller budget because we all need to get out of the brutal crisis that Argentina is in. It is necessary for all sectors to understand the historical moment. Yesterday the president made it very clear, we need to have zero deficit, lower inflation to start growing. And that path does not twist, beyond the Massas, the Kicillofs, the CGT or the CTA and the stable cast that is going to be mobilized today," he said in statements to the press when leaving his home. tomorrow.
The minister also minimized the participation of the university world in today's call by stating that there are " millions of students who understand very well what the Government is doing."
“ It is a complex march where many interests come together to want to put the Government in check . We have certain precautions regarding what the final objective is, beyond students and teachers who can ask for their budget as so many sectors do, knowing that the entire country is in a moment in which it must adjust to move forward. It is a strange march, there are too many interests that come together ,” the official stressed.
Regarding the security operation, Bullrich explained that federal forces will act, although they are also coordinating with the City Government. “The temperament will always be to respect the protocol that we have proposed within the framework of the type of march that we find on the street today ,” he said.
This afternoon, the UBA and the national universities will lead a massive mobilization that gathered support from the entire political and union spectrum in demand of more budget for operating expenses and teaching salaries. The organizers asked to avoid party symbols and called to march with Argentine flags.
The demand in defense of public education, the main slogan of the day, which protests the lack of budget for national universities, achieved support from the entire political spectrum , unionism , sectors of civil society, academics, students, artists, young and old. It is headed by rectors, teachers, graduates and students who do not necessarily admit that label.
The opposition, from Peronism to the Radical Civic Union (UCR), supported the university system, although without overshadowing the protest . In any case, there will be presences of key figures from the entire opposition spectrum, such as the Buenos Aires governor, Axel Kicillof; the president of the UCR, Senator Martín Lousteau; the former Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa; as well as leaders of the CGT and the CTA.
“We are expecting a lot of people . The demand for the public university transcended the entire society. “It is not a partisan march,” Lucille Daniela Levy , president of the FUBA, told Infobae. “The Government speaks from ignorance to delegitimize the march and the student demand,” said the reference of the university movement and added: “ There is nothing further from indoctrination than the public university .” Today's mobilization will be broad and plural."
The conflict was unleashed by the claim led by the UBA due to the lack of budget that affects the operation of the largest university in the country and the rest of the national universities.
The Government announced on Thursday a “proposal agreed upon with the National Interuniversity Council ” regarding the budgetary situation of public universities. The decision of the Ministry of Human Capital, headed by Sandra Pettovello , who has the Secretary of Education of Carlos Torrondell under her orbit , ordered an increase of 70% in March, bringing the allocation for operating expenses to $10,075,851,995 per month for the National Universities.
While it announced another 70% in May, reaching $14,224,732,213 per month, totaling a 140% increase over the base allocation of $5,926,971,777 per month. In addition, the measure allocated an extraordinary amount for the needs of university hospitals for a sum of $14,403,479,661 . The UBA came out to deny the agreement and indicated that the measure was “ insufficient .”
