  "account": "A federal judge in Argentina has declared it unconstitutional for the government to reject a 2025 law mandating increased funding for public universities, directing authorities to implement the legislation. The government plans to contest the decision. Judge Martín Cormick dismissed the government's justification for defying the law as \"unreasonable,\" stating it constitutes a \"form of veto not included in the National Constitution.\" Consequently, the decree was deemed an \"extra-constitutional tool\" used to block a law approved by Congress. The ruling follows a series of court orders compelling the government to release funds under the law, despite authorities' refusal to provide resources due to the law's ambiguous funding source. The educational sector has also pursued legal measures and organized protests against the government's funding cuts, which have reduced public university funding by 40% since President Javier Milei's inauguration in December 2023. The next demonstration to support public universities is scheduled for October 15 across the country.",
