Earlier this Tuesday, Kirchner had shared a post on Twitter, now known as X, in which she shared her university profile and that of Néstor Kirchner.
“Our records from the National University of La Plata and the two of us in the summer of 75′-76′, still students. Who could imagine that 27 years later we were going to preside over an Argentina in which we created and inaugurated 16 new public universities, achieving “That, for the first time, all provinces have a public university?” Cristina expressed in her social media message, along with a photo of her youth next to Néstor Kirchner.
And he continued his message: “We were able to do it when we reversed the relationship between the resources allocated to education and the payment of the external debt. In 2003: 3% of GDP for education and 5% for external debt. In 2015, at after the three government periods: 6.3% of GDP for education and 1.5% for public debt. “It was not magic.”
He concluded with a slogan of support for the federal university march. “Public education for equal opportunities”hill.
In recent weeks, Cristina had preferred her TikTok account, the youth platform, to address her followers. There she also appeared in the Patria and raised questions about Javier Milei’s government.
Despite her support from a distance, the former president did not join the concentration, which by that time was already massive: it filled the Plaza de Mayo, Avenida de Mayo and the Plaza del Congreso.
Those who were present were Malena Galmarini and Sergio Massa. The former presidential candidate of Unión por la Patria did not want to make statements: he only maintained that he was there to accompany his children. He also left his former rival in the Kirchner party, Juan Grabois.
Another who was part of the mobilization was Axel Kicillof. The governor of the Province of Buenos Aires, a graduate of the UBA, joined the march when the mobilization was already advanced.
The CGT also contributed its column, headed by Héctor Daer and Pablo Moyano. Buenos Aires Peronist mayors were also present, including Mariano Cascallares (Almirante Brown) and Mario Secco (Ensenada).
