Kirchnerist university student group paralyzes the start of classes at UNC for a week

The second semester at Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC) began with a total strike called by ADIUC, the university's faculty union. This measure affects thousands of students who will not be able to attend their classes. The protest is part of a prolonged conflict with the national government over political issues and lack of audits.

The strike, which will last all week, aims to pressure Javier Milei's government because universities have not adjusted their own expenses. UNC faculty, supported by faculty unions, have decided to continue with the protest actions. Meanwhile, students are deprived of their academic training, which generates frustration and uncertainty.

The impact of the strike: students demand classes and academic continuity

The strike has caused discontent among students who are missing classes and exam sessions. Many question the interruption of classes, as they feel they have no voice in this conflict. These students, whose goal is to advance in their education, find themselves caught in a dispute beyond their control. 

While faculty are on strike, students are asking for their education and the continuity of the academic cycle to be prioritized. The situation is complex, since there is no clear immediate resolution and uncertainty about the future of the semester is increasing.

UNC, meanwhile, has not managed to find an effective solution that guarantees normal attendance for students. The strike continues to seriously affect the university community, while authorities seem unable to provide quick answers to the conflict.

Students side with unions to the detriment of their peers

In response to the suspension of classes, many students support the faculty union, but set aside their rights and do not demand normal academic operations. Federación Universitaria de Córdoba (FUC) has prioritized statements of solidarity with faculty, without considering that the main ones affected are the students. The focus should be on guaranteeing classes and exam sessions, not on supporting a cause that interrupts their education.

The dialogue that some students seek to promote with faculty unions is meaningless if they do not first demand that classes continue and exams take place. While FUC expresses solidarity with the unions, the priority must be to guarantee their training, not to continue fueling a conflict that affects their future.

FUC seems to be more focused on supporting the union struggle than on defending students. Its main objective should be to ensure that the strike doesn't affect students even more. Without a clear focus on students' needs, the protest loses relevance and becomes a barrier to academic development.
