Argentine police used water cannons to disperse a protest in Buenos Aires this Wednesday (10), after social movements took to the streets to oppose President Javier Milei's austerity measures.
Protesters marched along a main avenue in the capital, disrupting traffic.
The protest highlighted the plight of the working class and popular sectors who, they say, are bearing the brunt of government cuts aimed at curbing inflation.
Milei has implemented austerity measures that include painful cuts to state spending, reduced subsidies and pruning of the public sector.
Argentina is struggling to reduce one of the highest levels of inflation in the world, with an annual rate exceeding 275%, while also facing rising poverty, stagnant economic activity and the impact of strict capital controls that make it difficult to business.
