Students take over Argentinean faculties in protest against veto

Buenos Aires, Oct 8 (Prensa Latina) Students have occupied the Psychology and Philosophy and Letters faculties of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) in protest against the veto by Argentinean President Javier Milei to an educational financing law.

The students also reject the closing of the Laura Bonaparte National Mental Health Hospital, which would result in 612 people losing their jobs and thousands of patients would be left without care.

Last night, the students at UBA decided to remain in their study centers for 48 hours and to participate in a mobilization planned for tomorrow in front of the Congress, where Milei’s veto will be debated.

For its part, the Federation of University Teachers rejected a salary increase of only 6.8 percent approved by the Executive, considering that it is not enough to face the considerable loss of purchasing power and inflation.

In addition, it communicated that its affiliates will continue to demand the revocation of the President’s veto and better working conditions.
