Una enorme alegría la sesión de ayer en Diputados. La reforma de la carta orgánica del Banco Central es un salto institucional de enorme trascendencia. La imposibilidad del Ejecutivo de remover a sus autoridades es clave, ya que hace a la institución más independiente del Ejecutivo. ¡Ay Diosito!... y decían que @JMilei era un peligro para la República. La casi unanimidad con la que se se aprobó el tratado con Singapur también muestra algo muy alentador: que Argentina se está animando a integrarse al mundo. Singapur es un socio cantado para las exportaciones argentinas (una isla sin producción de alimentos y puerta de Asia). Allá vamos. Después no se sorprendan del boom exportador. Finalmente, lo de PCT es la mejora institucional más grande, para el complejo de ciencia y tecnología, que el país logra en décadas. Es inviable un país que no deja que sus industriales puedan proteger sus innovaciones, o que tampoco lo pueda hacer ni el @Conicet ni ninguno de sus científicos. Ayer dimos un paso clave para devolverle el derecho de propiedad a la ciencia Argentina. Hoy se debería celebrar en @Conicet y en la UIA, y en Argentina toda, porque respetar los derechos de propiedad es el camino a la prosperidad. Hubo otras cosas como lo de inocencia fiscal, pero estos tres son hitos históricos, estructurales, de esas cosas que cambian un país. Recordaremos está sesión siempre. Argentina será próspera. Gracias @DiputadosAR, gracias @MenemMartin (crack), gracias Presidente @JMilei. MAGA! VLLC! #Argentina #Reforma #Ciencia

The Arday scandal has brought to light precisely what the Western university does not want to discuss: the prevalence of ideological criteria over scientific ones, the arbitrariness of the cooptation of teachers and researchers, and their transformation into an endogamous caste of (translated)
🎯 Essência O combate político faz‑se reforçando instituições, criando enquadramento legal claro, organizando discurso público e mobilizando cidadãos em torno da laicidade e dos direitos fundamentais. 🧭 Estratégias políticas (democraticamente válidas) 1. Defesa ativa da laicidade Propor legislação que clarifique limites entre religião e política. Reforçar fiscalização da CNE sobre intervenções religiosas em campanhas. Exigir que políticas públicas tenham fundamentação técnica, não doutrinária. 2. Transparência e escrutínio Defender auditorias regulares a financiamentos de organizações religiosas. Propor registo obrigatório de lobbies religiosos, como existe noutros países europeus. Exigir divulgação pública de apoios institucionais a candidatos. 3. Mobilização cívica laica Criar movimentos ou plataformas que defendam Estado laico e direitos civis. Incentivar partidos a assumir compromissos explícitos com laicidade. Organizar debates públicos sobre separação entre fé e governo. 4. Contraponto argumentativo baseado em evidência Responder a propostas religiosas com dados científicos, estudos e impacto social. Evitar confronto identitário; focar sempre em políticas públicas concretas. Promover fact-checking independente. 5. Educação cívica e literacia democrática Apoiar programas escolares e comunitários sobre funcionamento das instituições. Reduzir dependência de discursos moralistas ou simplistas. Incentivar participação informada em assembleias municipais e debates locais. 6. Regulação do uso político de espaços religiosos Defender aplicação rigorosa das regras que proíbem propaganda eleitoral em cultos. Reforçar penalizações quando líderes religiosos usam influência espiritual para fins partidários. 📌 O ponto crítico O combate é político, institucional e argumentativo — nunca religioso ou identitário. O objetivo é proteger a democracia, não atacar crentes.
