Argentine Students Occupy Campus in Protest Against Milei’s Austerity

Students at the University of Buenos Aires announced a one-day occupation of a campus building, protesting President Javier Milei’s spending cuts and warning that free public higher education is at risk. The action came amid wider demonstrations in Buenos Aires, where thousands called on the government to implement a university funding law passed by Congress. The law includes salary increases, scholarships and institutional funding. The government says the measures lack identified financing. Police used tear gas and rubber bullets during clashes.
