The Government demanded that the UBA guarantee the safety of students after attacks from the left

The national government urged the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) to guarantee the safety of students after the acts of violence registered at the Faculty of Social Sciences, where liberal young people, from the group Somos Libres, were attacked by left-wing groups as part of the elections for the student center.

The incidents occurred when libertarian students were trying to oversee the elections, a key task to ensure the transparency of the process. In this context, left-wing groups reacted with cries, pushes and attempts to prevent them from entering the establishment, creating a climate of tension

within the faculty.

Despite the seriousness of the events, the students report that the institution's authorities did not intervene to stop the attacks, which aggravated the situation and allowed the episodes of harassment to unfold

without control.

Faced with this scenario, the Undersecretary of University Policies, Alejandro “El Profe” Álvarez, sent a formal note to the rector's office demanding explanations and urgent measures. In the communication, the official emphasized the university's obligation to guarantee security, freedom of expression and the normal development of academic life

.

The Government already intervened for similar events in the UNMDP

Days ago, the national Government must have also intervened in the National University of Mar del Plata after a series of aggressions against students from the liberal group CREAR+ Libertad, which had set up a stand inside the

university grounds.

In that case, the Undersecretary for University Policy sent a formal note to the rector Mónica Biasone demanding urgent answers and measures to guarantee the safety of students, considering that the events threatened freedom of expression and

democratic coexistence.

The proposal included a request for detailed reports and a warning of possible responsibilities in the face of lack of action, marking a clear line for the Government in the face of episodes of political violence within public universities.
