Academic and administrative staff at Argentina’s public universities have launched a 24-hour strike to protest the Lower House’s vote to support President Javier Milei’s veto on a bill that would have granted them a funding increase. The National Universities Union Front — which brings together several university professors’ unions — called for their members to go on strike on Thursday and redouble their demands for higher salaries and a larger budget for universities. Over 30 teachers and researchers from the University of Buenos Aires’s Agronomy Faculty resigned recently as the wage crisis worsens, the institution said in a statement. Most deputies rejected Milei’s veto, but the opposition failed to gather the special two-thirds majority required to overturn a presidential block. Students and staff occupied La Matanza University for the first time in its history on Wednesday.

Former Infantry Intelligence chief Ernesto Villarruel, uncle of Vice President Victoria Villarruel, died on Tuesday at age 80. Ernesto Guillermo Villarruel was a captain and head of intelligence for the Third Infantry Regiment of La Tablada, Buenos Aires Province. This regiment managed the clandestine detention center El Vesubio, one of the deadliest of the dictatorship era. Victoria Villarruel has always been proud of her military family.

Argentina’s manufacturing sector recorded its second consecutive monthly improvement in August, reaching its highest level during Javier Milei’s administration. However, it contracted by 6.9% year-on-year, and contracted by 13.6% in the first eight months of 2024. According to data released on Tuesday, the INDEC statistics bureau’s Industrial Production Index showed a monthly increase of 1.5% in August. However, the sector is a long way from recovering the levels seen before the change of government. The largest year-on-year declines were in non-metallic mineral products (-22.2%), machinery and equipment (-19.2%), and wood and paper products (-17.8%).

Several professional film associations have announced that they will not participate in the upcoming Mar del Plata International Film Festival as an act of protest against the Argentine government’s policies and management of the National Film and Audiovisual Arts Institute (INCAA). The decision means this year’s festival will not have juries traditionally responsible for presenting awards in a range of categories. The Federation consists of ASA (Argentine Association of Audiovisual Sound Engineers), ADF (Argentine Cinematographic Photography Authors), AADA (Argentine Association of Audiovisual Art Directors), EDA (Argentine Association of Audiovisual Editors) and SAE (Argentine Society of Audiovisual Editors). Earlier this year, the government officially suspended INCAA’s operational funding and laid off scores within the institution. “Our productions and our sources of work are no longer in danger — they are under attack.”

The National Transportation Table, which brings together the most important unions in the sector, has confirmed a 24-hour national strike on Wednesday, October 30. Bus drivers’ unions may also join the strike. The National Transportation Table includes the Camioneros truck drivers’ union, Aviation Workers, and La Fraternidad rail workers’ union, among others. “I’m not going to speak for the bus drivers. I believe they’re suffering the same attacks that all transportation unions are facing, such as inflation and income tax,” said Pablo Moyano, the Deputy Secretary General of Camioneros.

The Argentine men’s national football team may be in trouble ahead of its World Cup Qualifier commitments in October. So what’s next, and how can he keep Argentina’s blistering pace at the qualifiers — six wins from eight games so far — going? Second there’s 19-year-old Facundo Buonanotte, who has already played for the men’s national team, debuting in a friendly against Indonesia in June 2023. The left-footed striker inherited Ángel Di María’s role as a winger after he retired from the national team González’s absence raises questions for the upcoming international fixtures. Come match day, he’ll likely start on the left, while either Soler or Lisandro Martínez can provide backup on the left side.

The Buenos Aires Architecture Biennale is set to kick off on Wednesday October 9, with a flurry of events, from specialist talks to open-air exhibits and concerts. The 19th BA Architecture Biennale will take place over five days in the Faena Art Center, Aime Paine, 1169, Puerto Madero. It will be performed by the Tambor Fantasma group alongside students from the Buenos Aires City Piazzolla Conservatory and the Superior Art Institute of Teatro Colón (ISA, for its Spanish initials), among others. There will also be outdoor exhibits in different parts of Puerto Madero devoted to design and art. There is also Redescubrí la ciudad (Rediscover the city), a exhibit showcasing the urban design projects of late Argentine architect and designer Diana Cabeza.

The Milei administration will appeal to the judiciary if Congress votes to overturn the president’s veto on legislation for new university funding, Economic Minister Luis Caputo confirmed on Sunday. President Javier Milei has promised to veto any and all legislation that might adversely affect Argentina’s fiscal deficit. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the cost of the university spending bill amounts to just 0.14% of Argentina’s gross domestic product. Last year, the Economic Ministry submitted a report to Congress that found that “tax expenditures,” or benefits for specific sectors, amounted to 2.49% of GDP. The reality will be irrefutable.”On Wednesday, thousands of students and public university staffers across the country took to the streets to protest the government’s latest budget cuts.
