Medical students will hold a vigil to request full attendance
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the UNLP will carry out a vigil next Friday to ask for “full presence, not the bochazos and more budget”.
The day, organized by the UniTE group, will begin at 10 in the 60 and 120 building and will feature various activities.
“Throughout the day we are going to concentrate on the faculty and different activities are going to be done. There is going to be a course on suture, showing the heart; There will be different courses because we believe that the faculty is not providing the tools so that students can advance. We are having almost no practices, only this year they started to happen and in many of the races that is a setback,” Macarena, a member of the group in charge of the initiative, told him daily Hoy.
In addition, they also demand more scholarships, an increase in the educational ticket, add teaching positions and more classrooms and nursery for students with children. At the same time, they demand extensive courses, an increase in the rental scholarship and the delivery of backpacks from Pronafe (National Nursing Training Program).
Another axis of the claim is to demand more security at the El Dique headquarters, which does not have a building guard at any time of the day. “It is quite dangerous when we go out at night, because many attend until 8 pm,” he remarked.
Asked if they had any encounters with the authorities, she remarked that they have held meetings, but so far “nothing has been done.”
“From 10 o’clock you will see an entrepreneurs’ fair. We invite all our colleagues through the networks so that everyone can set a table and sell products because it is also a difficult time economically. Then there is going to be a trick tournament and he is going to see bands”, explained the student.
It should be remembered that the vigil was to take place last Friday, September 2, but had to be postponed due to the national holiday following the assassination attempt on Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
“We have been asking for face-to-face courses, collecting signatures, conducting surveys since March. In the races, attendance is partial and it is affecting our training. We need to have an answer and be able to move forward”, he completed.

The necessary budget is regarding 1.7 billion yen per year, which will increase by regarding 1 billion yen, and the ward wants to use the increased tax revenue and accumulated funds.
Katsunori Aoki, mayor of Katsushika Ward, said at a press conference, “The cost of food is rising now, and the burden on the child-rearing generation is increasing. Considering the future, I would like to raise funds while promoting administrative and financial reforms.”
The ward has a policy of including the necessary budget in the initial budget proposal for the next fiscal year, and will proceed with coordination with the assembly side in the future.
Residents of the child-rearing generation welcomed Katsushika Ward’s policy of making school meals free of charge for elementary and junior high schools, saying that it would help reduce the burden on households amid high prices.
Among them, a woman in her 40s with a 2-year-old child said, “My mother and I were talking regarding the cost of food going up and it was a hard time, so I think there are many families that will be saved by reducing the burden.” A 38-year-old woman with two children said, “It was a little less than 10,000 yen a month for school lunch alone, so it would be very helpful if it became free.”
In addition, a 26-year-old woman who has three children, a second grader, a three-year-old, and a one-year-old, said, “Right now, I’m only paying for school lunch for one child, but I think the burden will increase when the other children become elementary school students. I was thinking regarding it, so I’m happy to make it free.”
A hydroelectric reserve must be set up to avoid a possible shortage at the end of winter. Consumers will bear the costs, according to the ordinance adopted by the Federal Council on Wednesday.
Electricity and gas prices are currently subject to strong fluctuations, in particular due to the war in Ukraine. The Federal Council has already taken several measures to strengthen the electricity supply. On Wednesday, he detailed his concept of a hydroelectric reserve.
Consumers at checkout
Storage power stations will have to conserve a certain quantity of water once morest payment from December 1 to May 15. The idea is not to be able to ensure supply throughout this period, but only to deal with a shortage of a few weeks, the government said in a press release.
The costs of a hydroelectric reserve of 500 GWh are currently estimated at between 650 and 750 million francs. But they might rise if market tensions persist, he notes. Consumers will have to bear them. They will thus have to pay an additional 1.2 cents per kilowatt hour.
The reserve can only be used to deal with critical shortages. Its use will be coordinated with reserve power plants running on gas, oil or hydrogen, which are being set up.
Call for tenders in October
A call for tenders will be launched in October. If there are too few proposals or if these are too onerous, the Federal Department of Energy may force the operators of power stations to constitute a reserve once morest a remuneration fixed by the authorities.
The ordinance, adopted on Wednesday, is limited until mid-2025. A law should follow suit. It is currently being debated in Parliament.
