Overview
- A video circulated by UCR deputies shows zonal delegate Gladys Esther González telling primary students that their guardapolvos, shoes, school supplies and meals were provided by Governor Gildo Insfrán.
- The footage was taken during a Día del Estudiante and Primavera event in the Gran Guardia primary school and was posted online by deputies Agostina Villaggi and Carla Zaiser, who said they will file formal complaints.
- The provincial Ministry of Capital Humano has asked Formosa’s Ministry of Education for information about measures against the officials involved and for the procedures used to prevent political-partisan activity in schools.
- Opponents say presenting state-funded goods as personal gifts from the governor violates rules on school neutrality and risks pressuring teachers and children to praise a political leader.
- The episode recalls a March case in Formosa that led the national Secretaría de Educación to seek explanations, and it may prompt further provincial and national inquiries into school politicization.
