Crowd takes to the streets in defense of public education in Argentina

One day after President Javier Milei’s third speech on national television since assuming the Presidency last December, a crowd walked to Plaza de Mayo, in front of the Casa Rosada, in Buenos Aires. With small improvised posters, they criticized cuts in federal resources for public universities. In his speech, broadcast on Monday night, Milei highlighted the fiscal surplus, a result of the cut in resources in several sectors, and said that the era of the present State is over.

This Tuesday’s march was also recorded in cities where public universities are emblematic, such as Córdoba and Rosario, for example. In recent days, public universities have started trying to circumvent the cuts, saving on energy consumption, for example. The University of Buenos Aires (UBA) and the National University of San Maríin (Unsam), among others, had a strong support from their students at the event in Buenos Aires.

The peaceful demonstration was attended, in the federal capital, by the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo and the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, and rectors on the stage, where a document highlighting the importance of funds for public education was read. Milei said that the march featured the ‘ghost train’, in reference to the presence of politicians defeated at the polls in last year’s elections.
