Students from Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires and Carlos Pellegrini, both affiliated with the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), occupied the school buildings starting Tuesday at 10 p.m. in protest over the government’s failure to comply with the University Funding Law.
The action was approved during assemblies held outside regular class hours and, according to representatives from the student unions, may continue over the next few days depending on decisions made in upcoming meetings.
The protest comes two weeks after the massive university demonstration held on May 12 and once again draws attention to the budget conflict affecting Argentina’s national universities.
The Open Letter to the president
The self-organized families of Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires posted an “open letter” to President Milei in their social media account.
