After the debate and the controversy over the criticism that the Buenos Aires Minister of Education, Soledad Acuña launched against the teachers who militate, the head of the national educational portfolio, Nicolás Trotta, questioned her again by stating that "instead of reflecting, she
continues to deepen the disqualification
".
It is that this Tuesday and in a press conference, Acuña insisted that "there is a group, which is not a majority, that
understands the place as a space for militancy,
" and added: "we are going to work so that this is not the case."
"They are wrong and unfair statements, and instead of reflecting they
continue to deepen the disqualification
. The minister's words have been clear in that sense and
now she reaffirms them
," Trotta said in statements to Radio
Futurock
.
The official assured that he is not surprised by the position of Acuña and took the opportunity to also criticize the Government headed by Horacio Rodríguez Larreta: "There is a project that reveals the lack of will to articulate with teachers such as UniCABA (University of Teacher Training of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires). That proposal was never carried out in dialogue with teachers and training institutes. "

And he added: "It was a tool of constant conflict where the government imposed an agenda, when we all know that it must be built with consensus."
Trotta also referred to the journalistic note that linked her to the Nazi criminal Erich Priebke, who was the director of the school she attended in Bariloche.
"Under no point of view I believe that the minister has a look as has been intended from the interpretation of a cover of

What worries me about the minister are the painful statements," he said.
However, in a conciliatory tone, Trotta said that "
it is never too late to reflect
."
Acuña's comparison with the criminal Nazi outraged much of the opposition, who came to his defense.
Among them, former President Mauricio Macri.
Acuña was at the center of the controversy days ago when he maintained that there are teachers who "choose the military instead of teaching" and call to "report" when there are acts of "indoctrination" in schools.
Those statements he made in a chat via zoom with the deputy of Together for Change, Fernando Iglesias, triggered criticism from a large part of the national ruling party and also from the teaching unions, who asked for his resignation.
