Argentina: "anger marches" organized against Javier Milei and his austerity measures
Roughly thirty Argentine cities witnessed mobilizations on Saturday, driven by discontent over the deteriorating economic situation.
So-called "anger marches" took place on Saturday, September 19 in roughly thirty cities across Argentina, according to RFI. These demonstrations targeted President Javier Milei and his economic austerity policy.
According to RFI, the mobilization has been fueled by the deteriorating economic situation in the country. Protesters expressed their discontent with the austerity measures implemented by the Argentine president's government since he took office.
President Javier Milei, elected in late 2023, has implemented an economic reform program marked by substantial budget cuts, which his government describes as necessary to restore the country's public finances.
Precise details regarding the number of participants and the exact course of these marches in the various cities involved were not provided by the source.
