National deputy for Córdoba Natalia de la Sota today confirmed her rejection of the Executive's project that cuts funding for salaries at national universities, and in this regard, she denounced that through this initiative the Government seeks to 'legalize the underfunding of the university system'. According to what was learned by the Argentine News Agency, the legislator of the 'Defendamos Córdoba' single bloc was received today by the rector of the National Technological University, Rubén Soro, with whom she exchanged considerations about the critical panorama facing the national university system. The meeting took place after the Casa Rosada sent a new bill that, if approved, would repeal the University Financing Law passed last year with the push of the opposition. De la Sota reaffirmed her 'total rejection of the new bill that the Government intends to impose, because its only objective is to legalize the underfunding of the university system'. 'Wherever I am, my permanent commitment is to fight against underfunding and defend the university system,' she insisted. The opposition deputy stressed that 'the law we already have must be applied; the one that Congress approved twice and (President Javier) Milei refuses to implement'. The Secretary of University Coordination of the UTN, Juan Carlos Agüero, and his counterpart in Information and Communication Technologies, Pablo Rosso, also attended the meeting.
