Not for classes, but for activism: UNC opens for K event with Natalia De la Sota

This Saturday, at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the National University of Córdoba, a militant plenary of the ultrakirchnerist group "Sean Eternos" was held. Paradoxically, the venue had remained closed all week due to the teachers' strike, but it was opened exclusively for the partisan activity. The event sparked outrage among students who denounced the discretionary use of a public institution.

The day was marked by speeches against Javier Milei and direct criticism of fiscal policy measures. The organizers tried to give it a youthful tone, under slogans such as "Let's defend UNC" and "Hope is built in every classroom." However, the mobilization clearly displayed an electoral imprint just weeks before the elections.

Among those present was kirchnerist deputy Natalia De la Sota, who is seeking to renew her seat in the October 26 elections. Her participation confirms the shift toward a harder line of kirchnerism, further dividing peronism in Córdoba.

Natalia De la Sota and the shift toward hardline kirchnerism

During the meeting, De la Sota presented herself as a leader of the anti-Milei bloc in Córdoba. The legislator repeated the classic speech against the "liberal right" and called for an end to fiscal balance.

The deputy used the public university stage to launch indirect remarks at her former allies from Provincias Unidas. Her strategy aims to distance herself from Schiaretti's moderate profile and lean on the kirchnerist narrative. In the halls of UNC, the move was interpreted as a covert campaign rehearsal.

The contrast was evident: while the university remains closed due to strikes affecting thousands of students, the doors were opened for a partisan event. For the opposition, this reflects the kirchnerist colonization of the public university.

Political use of UNC

The opening of the Faculty in the midst of a teachers' strike was harshly criticized on social media. Students pointed out that they can't attend their classes, but spaces are made available for militant plenaries. "Classrooms are closed for studying, but open for kirchnerist politics," they expressed angrily.

The "Sean Eternos" event exposes the collusion between partisan groups and university authorities. Once again, UNC was at the service of an ideological project and not public education. The scene reflects the abandonment of the academic mission in the face of kirchnerism's political machinery.

For critics, Córdoba needs free universities, not partisan strongholds sustained with everyone's resources. The image of a Saturday with classrooms closed for study, but available for a K plenary, became a symbol of the double standard that runs through higher education under the dominance of activism.
