The Argentine government's proposed changes to the university funding law, amidst ongoing teacher strikes, face challenges due to the political fallout from Santiago Caputo's removal.
On February 19, just before the conclusion of the extraordinary congressional sessions, the Argentine government surprised many by sending a project to the Deputies aimed at amending the existing University Financing Law. This law is crucial as it mandates regular updates to university professors' salaries, which the government has been failing to comply with, leading to strikes initiated at the start of the academic year at national universities across the country. The proposal was touted to receive priority treatment, though it was announced that it would be shifted to regular sessions starting in March, reflecting the government's efforts to find a solution to the legal issues surrounding the law.
