In addition, the security forces completely closed the entrances, trapping those who managed to get inside. One of them was Cristina Camaño, the rector of the university, against whom a habeas corpus petition was filed for unlawful deprivation of liberty.

On leaving, the rector spoke to the media and explained the situation: ‘When I arrived, the policeman who is always at the door told me that I could not enter. When I asked him why, he pulled out a piece of paper from an email, which was a gmail and not an official email, from the controller appointed by the [Ministry of] Human Capital, in which he told the police not to let anyone in. I told him I was the rector, and although he still wouldn’t let me in, at a certain point he got out of the way and I went in. Finally, at 4pm, the police left the gate of the establishment, and the students were able to enter the university.The statement.

The statement. Earlier, the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo had published a statement on their social networks repudiating the events: ‘The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo denounce to the world that the criminal government of Javier Milei prevents, through uniformed members of the Federal Police, the entry of workers of our University to its headquarters, to carry out their work’.

They added: “The measure violates the autonomy of the university and aims to criminalise the workers of our university. We call on the entire UNMa community, trade unions, social organisations and political parties to mobilise at Defence 119 and put a stop to this outrage.
