Overview
- Universities, unions, and students plan a Fourth Marcha Federal Universitaria on Tuesday at 5 p.m. in Plaza de Mayo to demand enforcement of the 2025 financing law and salary updates tied to inflation.
- The Ministry of Capital Humano said Monday the protest is “completely political” and argued the only valid framework is the 2026 Budget, with the law’s injunction on pay and scholarships paused until the Supreme Court rules.
- The government published a new administrative cut that removes 5.303 billion pesos from capital transfers for university infrastructure, which stalls works at multiple campuses, according to the Boletín Oficial.
- As the march reaches the presidential palace, the ruling bloc’s mesa política will meet Tuesday at Casa Rosada to push its legislative plan on electoral changes, even as pressure builds over Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni’s investigation and clashes with Patricia Bullrich.
- Buenos Aires province urged turnout and cited a 45.6% drop in national transfers since December 2023 and steep real wage losses, while national officials floated a new commission to redistribute nearly 80 billion pesos for university hospitals using new criteria.
