translated from Spanish: The Port Appeals Chamber ordered the in-person classes to be enabled

On the morning of this Sunday, the prosecutor before the City Chamber of Appeals, Karina Cichero, ruled in favor of the request of two non-governmental organizations to keep schools open despite the government’s decree prohibiting the dictation of face-to-face classes in the Federal Capital. The protections had been presented by a group of nucleated teachers in the NGO Abramos las Escuelas y espacio Centro de Estudios de Políticas Públicas.These two organizations filed two resources amparos where they called for the nullity of the scope of Fernandez’s UND, regarding the suspension for 15 days of face-to-face classes, considering that it was essential to prioritize them. The Sala IV of Port appeals then sought the opinion of the prosecutors and finally decided to decide in favor of maintaining face-to-face classes. In this way, the Government of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta is obliged to keep schools open from Monday. The decision reaches 2359 educational units that bring together a population of 600,000 students. The Government is not part of the file, so it will not be able to appeal the court’s decision. Only parties that are part of the case can do so and this is not the case with the national executive. That is, the measure will take effect from tomorrow and the boys will be able to resume face-to-face classes. The conflict began after the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (UND) issued by the Executive Branch of the Nation that established the obligation of virtual education until April 30, as part of a series of restrictions to contain the impact of the second wave of coronavirus in Argentina.
In addition to these anti-questions by the NGO “Open Schools” and the Foundation Center for Public Policy Studies (CEPP). On Friday, the City of Buenos Aires filed a judicial protection with the Supreme Court to declare unconstitutional the UND that suspended face-to-face classes in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) for 15 days. The administration in charge of Larreta requested that the National State be ordered to “refrain, until the dictation of the final and final judgment, from carrying out any act involving the implementation of the decree at issue”. It considered, among other issues, that the decree violates the autonomy of the Capital and implies a “virtual federal intervention because powers are engroged over eminently local competences, in health and education”.
