A group of left-wing militants violently broke into an open class at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the UBA and sparked a scandal by forcibly preventing the exposure of legislators from La Libertad Avanza. The talk, focused on university funding, was interrupted by shouting political slogans, accusations and harassment against the guests.
The event, entitled “University Funding Act in Perspective”, took place within the framework of the chair of Constitutional Law (Darío Luna commission) and was attended by the national deputy for La Rioja, Gino Visconti, and the national senator for Chaco, Juan Cruz Godoy. The purpose of the activity was to analyze the current state of funding for public universities and to open a space for academic debate about their challenges and perspectives.
However, the activity was abruptly interrupted by a group of students identified with left-wing spaces, including members of the Youth of the Workers' Party, who burst into the classroom shouting “you are not welcome in this faculty, you are against the people” and slogans such as “
out, out and out”.The situation created a climate of tension inside the classroom, where the demonstrators tried to prevent the normal development of the class. The teacher in charge, Darío Luna, tried to calm the situation and remarked that the chair already included an open space for participation so that students could express their positions, ask
questions and discuss with the guests.In this context, Luna warned that the attitude of the demonstrators implied a “fascist” act and pointed out that such practices are incompatible with democratic debate. Despite their willingness to dialogue, the militants opted for direct confrontation, evidencing their
difficulty in discussing ideas.Joaquín Iglesias Astorgano, a political science student at the faculty and former student of the chair, collaborated in the organization. During the attacks, he tried to convey to the militants that they could use the microphone and participate in the exchange peacefully, but he
received no response.Later, he expressed himself on social networks and questioned the attitude of the demonstrators: “The same people who treat us as violent and anti-democratic, today interrupted an institutional activity organized by a teacher because there were two guests they didn't like.”
