The University of Buenos Aires (UBA) will hold a university march on May 12, a purely political mobilization organized around false arguments related to the funding of the system and in defense of a law that is currently suspended by the Judiciary.
The focus of the demand revolves around a supposed defunding that does not exist. The funds allocated to universities, including critical areas such as university hospitals, have been covered and updated by the Government of Javier Milei, in line with the approved budget.
One of the central points of the mobilization is the defense of the University Funding Law, a regulation that establishes automatic increases in spending without defining a concrete source of funding, a legal obligation for any law.
This is a deficit law that imposes unusual budgetary obligations, with expenses of up to 2.5 trillion pesos, and has as its sole objective to destroy the fiscal surplus and bankrupt the State.
For this reason, the law was recently suspended by the Judiciary, which prevents its application under current conditions. Despite this, the mobilization insists on demanding its implementation, reinforcing a claim based on a regulation that cannot be executed and that jeopardizes the macroeconomic stability of the entire country.
