The Trade Union Front of National Universities reaffirmed its Plan of Struggle during a press conference at the CONADU headquarters, where the city police were present provocatively. The planned activities include a National University Strike on March 17 and 18, followed by a mobilization with retirees on March 19.
In the context of the university crisis caused by the austerity measures of the government of Javier Milei, the Trade Union Front outlined the reasons and scope of the protest. Federico Montero, Secretary of Organization of CONADU, expressed solidarity with the victims of repression and pointed out the lack of university budget due to government political decisions.
Norberto Heyaca from FAGDUT highlighted the salary loss of the university teaching community and its impact on health, mentioning the reduction of benefits in social security. Luis Condori from UDA emphasized the importance of raising awareness about voting and the possible changes in the retirement system.
During the press conference, the presence of police officers was noted, generating discomfort among the attendees. Marcelo Creta from CTERA denounced the government's savage austerity measures and described it as a fascist state that undermines the rule of law and promotes social injustice. The lack of budget, the agreement with the IMF, and repression were cited as part of a process of income transfer to concentrated sectors.
In conclusion, the Trade Union Front of National Universities reaffirmed its commitment to defending the rights of workers and public education against the austerity and repression policies implemented by the Government.
