Subirats supports the protests against Ayuso and sees "very bad" that the Complutense makes it illustrious because "it degrades the public university"

• Politics Ayuso returns with controversy to the Faculty where he was born in politics: "He said that he was neither from the left nor from the right" and he already became "anti podemita"

• Universities Dozens of young people receive Díaz Ayuso at the Complutense to the cry of "Ayuso, pepera, the illustrious are out"

Common front from the Government against the president of the

, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

The Minister of Universities, Joan Subirats, has supported the protests that took place this Tuesday at the

against the appointment of the Madrid president as an illustrious student at the faculty where she studied, framing them within the "debate" and the freedom to "express ideas".

In return, he has found it "very wrong" that "a public university makes a person who is degrading the public university illustrious."

Diana Morant, Minister of Science, has also asked the leader of the PP to "dignify" the title and "finance the Madrid universities as they deserve."

Both ministers have attacked the lack of funding suffered by Madrid's public universities in the Community of Madrid, although they have not said anything about Catalonia, which is, along with Madrid, the worst funded.

"Madrid is the autonomous community with the lowest level of public university funding and it is encouraging the creation of private universities all day long," Subirats warned, arguing that "it is a bit contradictory that a person trained at a public university has a university policy that is the complete opposite".

Morant has indicated, for his part, that the Government of Madrid and the communities governed by the PP "are not being co-responsible" in allocating the funds they receive from the State.

"The universities also say it," she asserted.

Her colleague from the Council of Ministers has said that she is "in full agreement" with her and has added that "the public universities of the Community of Madrid have been suffering for a long time from being underfinanced in a very clear way and at the same time the Community is promoting of Madrid the presence of private universities".

"The fact that she [in reference to Ayuso] has been named an illustrious alumni of the

Complutense University today is recognition that her studies could be done at a public university, but it does not seem that this be the behavior that she is maintaining in relation to this dignifying of public universities", she has affirmed.

In addition, it has considered that the protests against Ayuso carried out by students and professors in relation to the appointment "are normal, in the sense that universities are a place of debate and contrast."

"As long as people can express their ideas, it seems normal to me," he added.

The

recognizes the right to strike for students and allows, contrary to the doctrine of the Supreme Court, public campuses to adopt ideological positions.
