This was announced by the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, after the broadcast of an event in Punta Indio where a group of ex-combatants left in the middle of the ceremony after feeling offended by the speech of one of the speakers.


Manuel Adorni announced a change in the Education Law to "penalize indoctrination in schools"

The presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni , announced today that the Government will send a bill that modifies the Education Law to penalize “indoctrination” in schools . The announcement is made after the broadcast of an event in Punta Indio , where a group of former combatants left in the middle of the ceremony after feeling offended by the speech of one of the speakers.


The official, in the framework of his usual press conference, added that the Ministry of Human Capital "will make available a channel to report indoctrination or political activity that does not respect freedom of expression."


“By decision of the national government, a bill will be sent to modify articles 11 and 126 of the national Education Law with the aim of penalizing indoctrination in schools,” Adorni announced.

In this context, the spokesperson made reference to the images that emerged in the last few hours with an episode that occurred in the town of Punta Indio: “It saddens us to see content in classrooms or at school events tinged with ideological militancy, such as a video that became known "These days of an act in which families, students and veterans of the Malvinas were offended."


On Tuesday, a scandal overshadowed the emotional tribute to the former combatants at Secondary School No. 4 in the town of Verónica, the capital city of the Buenos Aires commune of Punta Indio, who left in the middle of the ceremony after feeling offended by the speech by one of the speakers.


It was the director and history teacher who was in charge of starting the day that ended with a climate of general anger and an apology from the local mayor, David Angueira.

The presentation of the questioned teacher was defined as “partisan” by many of those present, who, for the most part, supported the decision of the veterans to get up from their places and leave the central square, where they had been summoned along with their families. At 10 am.

“What happened is that the person they chose to give the speech chose as a discursive line an axis based on an ultra-detailed analysis of what the dictatorship was. It was not an isolated phrase, but rather it was an entire line of discourse that was increasing. We waited for a while thinking that at some point there was going to be a mention of veterans, but no, it never did,” Aldo Reyes, son of former combatant José Aldo Martiriano Reyes, told Infobae .

Criticism of the teaching strike and a possible Truckers' strike​

During his press conference, Adorni took the opportunity to criticize the national teaching strike that the CTERA union is carrying out today, and to which university professors also adhere.

“We are coming from more than an absolutely catastrophic year. In 2023, Argentina had the highest inflation in the world: and the teaching unions did not take any forceful measures. The school year lasts less than 30 days, in what mind can we take a forceful measure in this context? "said the spokesperson.

There, he assured that “a majority of third grade students do not understand what they read, 70% of children cannot solve a basic mathematics problem, 50% of adolescents do not finish high school and half of them do not finish.” they do in a timely manner.”

“What future remains for an economically and culturally devastated country if those who are going to lead it in the future are hostages of unionists who use them to negotiate their privileges ,” Adorni warned.


Pablo Moyano threatens a Truck Drivers' strike
Immediately, the spokesperson was consulted about the threat made by Pablo Moyano , deputy secretary of the Truckers' union, about a possible strike next week because the Government does not endorse the joint agreement reached with the business chambers of the sector.

“If on April 8, which is Monday, the 25% increase that was signed for March is not confirmed, not a leaf, not a pen, will move throughout the country . There is going to be a general strike from the Truckers union defending what was signed a month ago and has not yet been approved,” Moyano said in dialogue with C5N .

Adorni was forceful in his response: “I don't know what will happen on Monday. If he has the power to ensure that not a pen or a leaf moves in this country, we are wrong . I suppose what Pablo said was an exaggeration, we always appeal to reflection and continue trying to understand what are the reasons that make them sleep and what are the reasons that wake them up."
