Córdoba has let go of Javier Milei's hand: they will vote in favor of the University Financing Law.

The government held another meeting with the governors to discuss the issue of revenue sharing. Since they failed to reach an agreement, some provincial leaders will withdraw their support for President Javier Milei , and Córdoba , one of the provinces allied with the ruling party, no longer operates as an ally of the Libertarian administration and is listed as an opposition province.

Carlos Gutiérrez, a national representative for the Federal Encounter party for Córdoba , participated today in an event supporting the University Financing bill, which is scheduled to be discussed at the session requested by the opposition on Wednesday, July 2. He thus demonstrated his support for the bill's consideration and vote in Congress.

It's worth mentioning that Gutiérrez answers to Juan Schiaretti , while three other deputies from Córdoba report to the current governor , Martín Llaryora: Ignacio García Areca, Alejandra Torres , and, to a lesser extent, Juan Brügge. In addition, there is a fifth Cordoba representative from Encuentro Federal, Natalia de la Sota, who works in concert with the National Party (PJ Nacional), although she is not directly part of Kirchnerism.

The distancing of ties with Javier Milei's government is explained by the decline in co-participation of the National Treasury Contributions (ATN), and in fact, there is strong pressure from Córdoba to reverse the situation. The province asserts that until funds are released in reasonable amounts, the Córdoba deputies will remain reticent to the ruling party's designs.

In a clear message that demonstrates how far behind Javier Milei, the Córdoba representative reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening the public university system and emphasized the need to invest in universities and education. "Argentine talent continues to be the reason why multinational companies decide to invest in our country, even in the face of more favorable circumstances elsewhere in the world. This speaks to the value of our universities and what they represent in terms of knowledge, development, and the future," he asserted.

In another section of his speech, he urged a review of Congress's operating mechanisms and emphasized the need to prevent partisan interests from blocking progress on key issues such as education, public works, and disability. In this regard, he proposed "clearing agendas and facilitating special sessions," allowing urgent projects such as university funding to be addressed without delay.

" We reaffirm our commitment to this bill. But we also call for self-criticism: not having a national budget can no longer be an excuse. If we need to hold sessions on every urgent issue, let's do it. But let's not use political excuses to hold back decisions the country needs," he concluded, according to NA.
