The National University of Misiones (UNAM) joins the Federal University March, which will take place this Wednesday, September 17, throughout the country. The mobilization's main objective is to defend public education and reject the presidential veto of the University Financing Law.

The National University of Misiones (UNAM) has called for participation in the Federal University March, which will take place across the country this Wednesday, September 17, in defense of public education and against the presidential veto of the University Financing Law.

The rallies called for in the province's three main towns will all begin at 3:30 p.m.

In Posadas, the mobilization will depart from the flagpole at Mitre and Uruguay avenues and head through the city center to 9 de Julio Square, where a ceremony with various speakers will be held.

In Eldorado, the rally will take place at El Colono Plaza, at kilometer 6, and will continue to Sarmiento Plaza, at kilometer 9. In Oberá, the rally will begin at the Regional Campus of the Engineering and Art and Design faculties, with a march to the Civic Center.

UNaM emphasized that the call is part of the national campaign that will take place simultaneously in all provinces, under the slogan of defending public universities and ensuring the resources to allow them to operate.

"The public university belongs to everyone," the Misiones university stated in the call for applications posted on its social media.

The march is part of the academic community's rejection of President Javier Milei's veto of the University Financing Law, a law approved by Congress and considered key to sustaining the country's higher education system.

The central demonstration, in Buenos Aires from 5:00 p.m.

At the national level, the main demonstration is scheduled to begin at 5:00 PM in the area of the Buenos Aires Congress, although various organizations will gather from other locations to march toward the main event. The main event will begin at 6:00 PM, with various speakers, all under the slogan"Our future cannot be vetoed."

In this regard, the rectors of higher education institutions agree that not only the normal functioning of universities is at risk, but also the salaries of teaching and non-teaching staff, as well as the scholarships that support thousands of low-income students.

Garrahan Hospital workers will join this Wednesday's protest, as they are closely following the legislative debate on the pediatric emergency.

Support from political organizations

Regarding political organizations, the Right to the Future Movement, led by Axel Kicillof, called for the event from the headquarters of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, although the presence of the governor of Buenos Aires has not yet been confirmed.

In turn, La Cámpora reaffirmed its participation in Fuerza Patria, while it remains to be seen whether there will be a call to San Juan 1111, the residence where Cristina Kirchner is serving her house arrest.

Meanwhile, Sergio Massa's Renewal Front, which had already supported the march last October, once again joined the call, while the Radical Civic Union, which is at odds with the executive branch on this issue, launched its own call to join the march.

In other cities in the interior

In Córdoba, the mobilization is being organized by the National University of Córdoba (UNC) and will bring together the university community and various social sectors. The rally will begin on the university campus and continue toward the city center.

In Rosario, the rally is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. in Plaza San Martín, where students, faculty, staff, and authorities from the National University of Rosario (UNR) will gather. From there, the column will march to Puerto Joven, the location selected for the main event at 5:30 p.m.

In Mendoza, the mobilization is being promoted by the National University of Cuyo (UNCuyo) and is scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m.

At the same time as these marches, the Chamber of Deputies will discuss the rejection of the veto against the university financing law signed by President Javier Milei.

The vetoed rule, which had been approved in the lower house by a large majority of 158 affirmative votes, establishes that the operating expenses of educational institutions, university hospitals, and research funds must be automatically adjusted for inflation, and also orders the calling of collective bargaining agreements to restore teaching and non-teaching staff salaries and increase scholarships, among other points.
