In a decisive vote, the Superior Council of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), the institution's highest governing body, overwhelmingly rejected a proposal submitted by representatives identified with Kirchnerism that sought to express political support for the corrupt former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and repudiate a Supreme Court ruling.
The proposal, mainly promoted by student groups aligned with La Cámpora, who are currently leading the violent and illegal occupations of the Faculties of Social Sciences, Philosophy and Letters, and the Ciudad Universitaria campus, called for an institutional statement against what they described as a "political and judicial persecution" of the former president. Additionally, the text denounced an alleged "ban" resulting from the highest court's ruling.
However, the proposal was categorically rejected by 22 of the 28 members of the Superior Council. Only six members voted in favor: the proponents of the text and three deans from faculties where Kirchnerism has a stronger presence, such as Exact Sciences, Social Sciences, and Philosophy and Letters.
