Brawl at UBA Law Between Peronist and Libertarian Students Prompts Faculty Rebuke and Disciplinary Steps

The government reminded UBA that only the rector can request security forces inside the campus.

Overview

  • Militants from JUP and the libertarian group Somos Libres fought in the halls of the Faculty of Law, with viral videos capturing punches, shoves and a death threat shouted during the melee.
  • The clash escalated after JUP members placed a flag over the Somos Libres table following days of reciprocal vandalism, including graffiti on Peronist imagery and damaged materials.
  • The Faculty of Law repudiated the violence and said it will apply the university’s disciplinary regime once complaints are received and responsibilities are determined.
  • The Ministry of Capital Humano contacted university authorities and reiterated that rectors are responsible for campus security and are the only officials empowered to request security forces.
  • University sources reported police outside the building and no new incidents by late afternoon, a meeting was agreed by both groups to cool tensions, and national figures including President Javier Milei commented on the episode.
