Rocío Váez repudia las acusaciones del ministro Juan Álvarez Pinto hacia ella misma y hacia la UNLC.

Tourism Minister Juan Álvarez Pinto sparked controversy by criticizing the National University of Comechingones and publicly accusing Rocío Váez of being a "ghost employee." Váez responded with strong condemnation, defending her professional career and announcing she would initiate legal action against the minister. She stated that it was a political attack and demanded respect for institutions and local residents. The conflict adds to the ongoing debate about land-use planning and the hiring of a private consulting firm instead of the local university.
