They supported the half sanction not only the blocks that promoted the initiative (Union for the Homeland, much of the federal meeting, democracy forever, leftist front and civic coalition). 2 Salteñas de Federal innovation (Caletti y Vega), Acevedo de Santas Cruzall three Tucumanos former union for the country who respond to Jaldo, Lourdes Arrietaalmost all of the UCR (with 11 votes of the 14 of his block) and up to 3 members of the PRO (Baldassi, González and Brambilla). They ended up voting in favor of several deputies who had not contributed to the quorum.
In Again they voted freedom, almost the entire PRO, and the block of the “radicals with wig” which is already integrated into the official interblock.
In the PRO there were some absences and other abstentions, showing that the cracked of the yellow party is deepened. Federal innovation, most chose to be absent. In the case of the UCR, only the two Mendoza (Nieri and Verasay) and a Chaqueño (Cipolini) chose to hit the foul. Just the two provinces where their governors are in charge of closing alliances with freedom progresses (cornejo and zdero).
It is the Second time Congress tries to guarantee financing to universities. Last year, after massive mobilizations, a similar law was approved that was banned by President Javier Milei, unleashing a process of student shots throughout the country. On that occasion, Mileism managed to sustain the veto with several votes that turned by order of allied governors, and also with key absences of union by the homeland that collaborated to shield it.
Wednesday’s vote It was just a vote of getting two thirds to insist with the law in case of insurance presidential veto. From this Monday begins a struggle plan for university teaching unions from all over the country that will last all week. The deputy Castillo from the left called “Defend the two thirds in the streets”.
The salary loss of teachers and non -university teachers crossed all speeches. From union for the country, Blanca Osuna He denounced that they are below the poverty line. The deputy Christian Castillo From the Left Front, which is a university professor, gave some concrete figures: “An assistant first, 10 years old and simple dedication, charged $ 272,000 last month; a JTP position is in around $ 500,000, and non -teachers in less than $ 600,000.”
He approved text This Wednesday seeks the recomposition of the budget for national universities, both for operating expenses and for teaching and non -teaching salaries. In salary matters, a recomposition is raised by the lost since Milei assumed, which cannot be lower than inflation between December 2023 and the present. It also adds the obligation of the Executive Branch to convene from now to the parity with a periodicity not exceeding 3 months, ensuring updates not lower to the CPI. It includes an article for the Government to allocate a special item for the 2025 that allows regularizing income to the scientific researcher career (already approved) and opening new scholarships such as postdoctoral.
The proposal was defended in the enclosure by Union for the country, democracy forever, the civic coalition and a good part of the federal meeting.
He Front of the Left accompanied with the affirmative vote, although defending its own text (minority opinion) that included a special game so that teachers badly called “ad honorem” have a salary, a budget recomposition for science and technique, and a special amount to address the critical situation of university social works.
La Libertad progresses and the pro founded the rejection of university financing repeating the speech to sustain the fiscal balance. “They want to break the government” complained Gabriel Bornoroni From the ruling. There was a lack of response from different blocks.
From the left, Christian Castillo He denounced that “there is money for rural society and not for public universities. How much does the State spend to finance the Carry Trade? 2.6% of GDP in 2024, and 4.5% in 2025 according to official data of the Congress Budget Office. Then for the speculators friends of Toto Caputo there is money. For universities nothing.”
“Blanqueos, privileges and unre transparent hiring are the beneficiaries of that surplus,” he said Danya Tavela of the radicalism of democracy forever.
The Next stop will be the debate and site in the Senate.
The session continues with the agenda and is expected to end near midnight, although there is no security that all initiatives are voted. What is most guaranteed is that the average sanction to the emergency in pediatrics by the Garrahan hospital is also obtained. The site to commissions that interested governors to receive resources (ATN and liquid fuels) is already resolved: next Wednesday, August 13, the commissions will be met but no date was voted to ensure opinion. The site for emergency in science and technique would still be missing, to unlock the Investigative Commission for the case of the $ LIBRA, and brain health. In addition, the agenda includes the rejection of a DNU and four delegated decrees that affect state agencies or directly dissolve them.
