ARGENTINA: Milei faces huge protest march
President Javier Milei faced one of the biggest marches of recent times in Argentina on 23 April just over four months after taking office. The march was organised in defence of the country’s public universities, which claim that they lack sufficient funds to function in the second semester, and to protest against the government’s fiscal adjustment and austerity measures. Milei seized upon the participation of prominent opposition politicians and trade unionists, however, to maintain that “the same old people” were intent on “profiting at the expense of the Argentine people”.
