Marcha Federal Universitaria
Massive crowds march against Milei’s cuts to state universities
Large crowds turn out nationwide for march in defence of universities and state education; One of biggest rallies yet of President Javier Milei's government, with estimates ranging from 100,000 to half a million.
EDITORIAL
Missing the point
Milei misread the demonstration as “the caste” riding a noble cause to defend its interests but the scale, spontaneity and peaceful nature of the protest argue against this bid to politicise the march.
EDUCATION
Poll: State universities are ‘most reliable’ institution in Argentina
Poliarquía survey of reliability of national institutions ranks state universities highly, way ahead of the Armed Forces, the Catholic Church, the media, politicians and big business.
As I see it
Give us more education
Though academe has been on iron rations for decades, with professors long being accustomed to having to survive on a pittance, the feeling that Milei had it in for the universities because he thinks they breed lefties gave teeth to Tuesday’s demonstrations.
