Thousands of university teachers, students, and staff in Argentina have staged torchlit marches and protests against President Javier Milei's government, demanding increased funding for public universities and opposing budget cuts. The demonstrations took place in Buenos Aires and other cities, with participants calling for a law to guarantee education financing and salary increases for educators. Meanwhile, in Venezuela, university professors and workers from the Central University of Venezuela gathered in front of the Ministry of Higher Education to demand payment of the so-called Economic War Bonus. Student protests in Venezuela escalated on July 11, with police using tear gas and baton charges against demonstrators. The unrest was triggered during the Rectors' Assembly in Anavyssos, where clashes occurred between students and riot police after students posted flyers on police vehicles. The Venezuelan government announced the start of a special vacation income payment aimed at public education sector workers.
