Overview
- University unions will stop classes and campus services nationwide from April 27 to May 2 as part of a push to enforce the University Financing Law and recover lost pay.
- The national government has asked a federal appeals court to suspend Articles 5 and 6 of the law, which require immediate salary and scholarship updates, and is also seeking changes in Congress to limit its fiscal impact.
- Torchlight marches in Rosario and La Plata pressed the demand for enforcement, with the National University of Rosario taking free health services to the streets and reporting more than 1,000 consultations.
- The non‑teaching union FATUN held a no‑attendance strike on April 23 and is carrying out one‑day‑per‑week stoppages that further disrupt university operations.
- Universities and unions also set a Marcha Federal Universitaria for May 12 toward Plaza de Mayo, a next step that could prolong schedule disruptions if no deal emerges.
