Before the educational march, Kicillof confronted Milei again: “Don’t mess with the public university.”

Governor of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillofused this Friday tour of the municipality of Coronel Rosales to confront the government again Javier Milea. As part of the various works and investments announced from the port of this city located south of the provincial territory and accompanied by its mayor, Rodrigo AristimuniKicillof once again stood on the sidewalk in front of the policies implemented from the Casa Rosada and in the prelude to the second federal university march demanding funding for the sector “Don’t mess with a public university,” he stressed.

“They propose us to privatize and close the university to the national government, we invest and expand it in the province of Buenos Aires.. On October 2, there will be a popular expression that will explain to the government that everything is fine with what they say about the Austrian school, but don’t mess with the public university.“, the provincial leader expressed this Friday.

It was included in the announcements made by Coronel Rosales transfer of real estate for the provision of provincial and municipal services and the operation of the Southwest Provincial University under the Puentes program. The Puentes Program is a policy implemented by the Buenos Aires Executive – through the Ministry of Government – where it acts as a link – with funding – between the municipalities of the provincial interior and the national and provincial universities to provide careers in the districts.

“We just signed to forward the municipality and accompany it to establish more public universities in Coronel Rosales, and we are doing this throughout the province of Buenos Aires,” Kicillof reflected.

The provincial governor thus ratifies his opposition to the national government, which, as the official spokesman predicted, Manuel Adorni– will veto the law on financing universities, which was approved by the National Senate on September 13 last year. This plan reactivated the mobilization of the education community, which could be joined by different political sectors.

How he realized Infobaethe government is trying unsuccessfully so far disable mobilization called for next Wednesday, October 2. They were offered 6.8% of teaching and non-teaching salaries and would leave the parity open to match the salaries of public employees grouped in the National System of Public Employment (SINEP) in this way, which is 17% of the mass of the state. workers and who accumulated an increase of 85.1% in August. The offer was rejected. Everything is headed for a presidential veto and a demonstration in the streets.

In addition to the issue of education, Kicillof reviewed the progress of works at the port of Coronel Rosales, where, as officially announced, an investment of US$ 500 million will provide a structural answer to the increase in oil production planned in Vaca Muerta next year for several years.

“This project has a strategic perspective and the commitment of the provincial state and the private sector to meet the stated objectives: with great seriousness and humility, it is the largest investment in Argentina,” said the president.

The work carried out by Otamérica will increase the capacity of the port by 50%: it is estimated that it will be able to export 310 thousand barrels of oil per day, increasing the volume of Argentina’s exports by 8,000 million USD. Work is currently underway on the first stage of the project, which includes the construction of two reservoirs, a gas station, an electrical substation and a dock.

The strategy of the Kicillof government is to highlight this project, especially after the controversy over the installation of LNG facilities that YPF together with the Malaysian oil company Petronas decided to place in Río Negro at the expense of the port of Bahía Blanca after strong pressure and intervention by the president Javier Milea.

“It was the decision to renew YPF that allowed us not only to restore energy self-sufficiency with Vaca Muerta, but also to add export capacity and, above all, added value with Argentine work,” Kicillof said. At that time, he appreciated the figure of the former president Cristina Kirchnernoting that “What changed the history of Argentina was the Vaca Muerta, which was put into operation because Cristina Fernández de Kirchner decided to restore the YPF and this required long-term planning and also worked better than expected.” He also stated that the province of Buenos Aires is an “oil province”.

The defense of the former president’s character also comes within the framework the internal debate that Peronism is going through. La Cámpora and hardline Kirchnerism warn that some leaders working on Kicillof’s political construction are actually seeking to remove the former national leader from the scene.
