- Story Text: Students and educators in Buenos Aires staged a public class in front of the presidential Pink House on Friday (March 21) to protest ongoing budget issues under President Javier Milei's administration.
The event featured empty desks emblazoned with the names of absent government officials.
The demonstration, organised by the Buenos Aires University Federation (FUBA), highlighted the critical role of education in national development.
Priscila Vitale, the federation's president, said the protest aimed to draw attention to the loss of purchasing power among university staff and the budgetary crisis.
