Violent Clash at UBA Law Triggers Disciplinary Action as Election Tensions Rise

The Human Capital Ministry reminded UBA that only university authorities can request police on campus under the higher education law.

Overview

  • Videos showed JUP and Somos Libres militants trading punches and shoves in UBA Law hallways after peronist students covered a libertarian table with a flag, with one man heard yelling a death threat.
  • UBA’s Law Faculty repudiated the violence and said it will apply the disciplinary regime once complaints are received and responsibilities are determined.
  • The ministry led by Sandra Pettovello contacted UBA to address student safety and stressed that rectors are responsible for campus security under university autonomy.
  • Faculty-linked sources said leaders of both groups agreed to meet to ease tensions, police presence was reinforced outside the building, and no further incidents were reported in the afternoon.
  • The confrontation became part of a broader pattern of campaign flashpoints that included the evacuation of Karina Milei and Martín Menem during a Corrientes event and a federal complaint over the Lomas de Zamora caravan incidents.
