Earlier, the president spoke of “coup plotters” and stated that Universities “are not in danger”.
The head of state published a series of messages on his social networks in which he questioned this Wednesday’s demonstration and criticized the opposition political leadership that participated in the mobilization. “If to confront one you only have to get together with a bunch of unpresentable people prostituting a noble cause (in this case it is a way to hide the corruption of the usual jets) that is a major example of weakness and cowardice. We will make Argentina great new,” he said.

The Government will veto the university financing law

The Government denied an adjustment in the sector and reaffirmed “its commitment to the National Universitiesas with the defense of the effort that each of the Argentines has been making since December to achieve zero deficit, reduce inflation and recover economic prosperity.”
The libertarian Executive took advantage of the presence at the march of Cristina Kirchner, Sergio Massa, Martin Lousteau, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and Elisa Carrió to talk about a political “sincerity” and of the “consolidation of a new populist left front“among these leaders, who “have decided to publicly unite with the objective of obstructing the President’s economic plan.” “This convergence reveals the consolidation of a new populist left front in defense of the privileges of the political leadership,” they stated. .
Then they described the mobilization and the presence of political leaders as a “media spectacle” and they stated that “this administration will not give in” against “irresponsible bills” or “the manipulation of noble causes for partisan purposes.” “The Government’s objective is clear: end the impoverishing model of the last 100 years and make Argentina great again,” they concluded.
