A faculty strike in the five main public
autonomous universities has reached its first month, despite government claims that
professor’s demands have been met.
The rector of the main public
(non-autonomous) university Universidad
Bolivariana de Venezuela (UBV), Prudencio Chacón, believes that professors
are striking with the intention of “destabilizing the country.”
Today, on an interview transmitted by Venezolana de Television (VTV) Chacón declared that: “the problem of these universities has nothing to do with
salaries or the budget. These universities are really on board the coup line of
the right. They [the universities] are but one of the elements being used, just
like in other countries, to destabilize the progressive governments of the
world.”
He added that there is no excuse to
continue the strike: “there is only the intention of generating violence and the
destabilization of President Maduro’s government.”
Read here for the real reasons of why the conflict
has not abated.
