Protests in Argentina Turn Violent Over Milei’s Austerity Policies

 

Thousands of retirees and football fans protested President Javier Milei’s budget cuts in Buenos Aires, clashing with police. Demonstrators threw stones, fireworks, and sound bombs, prompting police to respond with tear gas and water cannons.

At least 20 people were injured, and over 100 were arrested. Protesters set patrol cars and trash cans on fire, chanting against Milei. Many wore football jerseys, with Boca Juniors fans attempting to march toward Congress. Anger over low pensions fueled the unrest, as Milei vetoed a pension increase last year.
