On October 3, a day after a massive march in defense of funded education, Milei blocked the law, followed by the backing from the Chamber of Deputies on the 9th, which provoked strong criticism and the rejection of student, union and social organizations.

Accordingly, several provinces have witnessed free classes and torch marches in the last few days, as strike is in the making, likely to be staged on Thursday.

Protests have started at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA); La Plata, Córdoba, San Luis, Tucumán, Mar del Plata, Comahue, Salta, San Juan, Luján, General Sarmiento, Avellaneda and Jose C. Paz, among others.

Pagina 12 and other media, such as the TV channel C5N, have been reporting seizures at the UBA the Colleges of Exact Sciences, Medicine, Architecture, Design and Urban Planning, Engineering, Social Sciences, Psychology, Philosophy and Arts (FyL-UBA) and Law.

On the other hand, students from Quilmes denounced that some activists from La Libertad Avanza party broke into an assembly and threw tear gas at them.

Speaking to the local radio, the general secretary of the Student Center of FyL-UBA, Luca Bonfante, said demonstrations will continue during the next few days.
