Argentina's President Javier Milei is facing backlash as public universities in the country grapple with a worsening budget crisis. The elite University of Buenos Aires, known for its academic excellence in Latin America, recently faced infrastructure challenges such as power outages and lack of basic amenities due to financial constraints.
President Milei's austerity measures, aimed at achieving a zero deficit, have led to widespread spending cuts across various sectors in Argentina. While Milei celebrated the country's first quarterly fiscal surplus since 2008, university students and professors staged protests against the government's actions.
