Deputies vote to reverse the presidential veto of the university financing law. Until now, Casa Rosada would have a third of the premises.
Late on Monday, and after a meeting with the parliamentary negotiation table that they have with their allies (PRO and MID) the Government announced an increase of 6.8% for workers of universities and, with this movement, a third of the venue would be guaranteed again before the session that will take place this Wednesday at 11 a.m. in the Chamber of Deputies to reverse the Javier Milei’s veto of the university financing law.
The increase represented a recognition of the loss of purchasing power (which the unions say is around 50% in real terms) but reinforces an argument from Casa Rosada: they are those of better partnerships in public administrationcontemplating that in ATE they received 3% for the last two months. “They They were in a very kamikaze position, of vetoing and not caring at all.…we made them understand that a show of good will was necessary so that the university community could rest assured that we don’t want to close anythingexpressing that this It was the best increase that could be given.“, one of the allied deputies who participated in the meeting told Ámbito
Beyond the eventual media impact, the deputy expressed the importance of the meeting: it unified the votes of the doubtful PROalthough in the yellow block there is two votes against the veto (González and Baldassi). Not many more leaks are expected from the ruling party, which from those around it assures that it has guaranteed the five votes that the allied governments of Tucumán and San Juanplus four of the radicals who made up the group of the “87 heroes” (except Cervi, who would abstain). “From 1 to 10, we have a 7 for optimism. We are attentive to everything: flights that may be delayed and all possible absences,” admitted to this medium a radical who took the project on her shoulder.

University funding: what is left for the opposition
The factor of absences and abstentions – which have the same value when a quorum is guaranteed – will be the determining factor. For licenses, There are two known absences of votes against the veto (Carbajal and López Murphy) and one in favor (Zago); the rest are questions, although three missionaries from Federal Innovation (all except Arrúa) would not be present either: in August, the latter had voted in favor of university financing.
This leaves an optimistic scenario for the Government: They would have 84 votes guaranteed, while the united opposition has 160, almost double the support but with the urgency of turning all the doubters in their favor and that they do not prefer to be absent.. For now, I would have the vote of Lourdes Arrieta. “In the veto of retirements, and after four hours of talking with her, we were able to convince her to abstain,” the ruling party told this medium, “but the trolls don’t help: they drive her crazy on the networks. The other time he took a photo with Quintela; “That was more about fever than politics.”
With a new salary increase announcement this Tuesday (second increase in 24 hours), the Government seeks to dissuade university groups from mitigating their forceful measures, which have already escalated to the seizure of powers and will be reflected again in the vicinity of Congress. “The principals want things to calm down, it is not convenient for them that there are no classes,” assured a deputy in favor of Milei’s veto.
The ancestry of the university authorities is the card on which the opponents are betting: it was known that at least the universities of Tucumán, Córdoba, La Pampa and Patagonia They contacted deputies from their provinces to make them aware of their demand to approve the project. Their ascendancy and that of the mobilization are the only ones possible to twist wills in a vote that would not upset the fiscal balance, but the political order.
