“We maintain all actions between now and Wednesday and That day we will be in the street saying again “no to the veto”“yes to the budget for salaries and operations,” concluded Celotto. The different non-teaching and student teaching unions will hold a press conference in front of the National Congress on Wednesday the 9th, at 11 in the morning.
At the end of the meeting, the Federation of University Teachers (FEDUN) published a statement titled “No agreement in the Meeting of the technical salary table” in which they stated that They will continue to insist on the need for the approval of the University Financing Law so they will demand that the deputies “be consistent with your popular mandate” and reject Javier Milei’s veto for it to become law.
