The Philosophy and Arts Faculties of UNC published institutional statements in support of Cristina Kirchner. The statements describe the Supreme Court's ruling as "a political proscription" and attack the Argentine judicial system. For many people in Córdoba, this is another example of partisan alignment with Kirchnerism.
On social media, reactions came quickly. Many pointed out the use of state-funded academic spaces for partisan purposes. The tone of the statements caused rejection even among sectors critical of the national government.
Both faculties published their statements from official accounts. This sparked a heated discussion about the politicization of educational institutions. UNC is once again at the center of the debate over the ideological use of its structures.
Statements with a militant tone and no legal basis
The text from the Faculty of Philosophy refers to historical events such as the 1955 bombing. It claims that the conviction of CFK is part of a "fierce attack on the democratic order." It doesn't present legal arguments that contradict the Supreme Court's decision.
Meanwhile, the Faculty of Arts targets Javier Milei, the media, and the "dispossession of retirees." The statement accuses the Judiciary of violating the rule of law and blocking cases such as the attempted assassination of CFK. The text deliberately omits the proven facts in the public works corruption trial.
Independent academic sectors expressed surprise at the belligerent language. Both statements mix lawfare theories with criticism of the current national government. The result is a declaration closer to a pamphlet than to a serious institutional stance.
