Buenos Aires, March 14 (RHC)-- Argentina’s far-right security minister is facing mounting calls to resign over the violent police response to a protest against President Javier Milei’s austerity measures and worsening poverty.
Over 1,000 riot police were deployed to the streets of Buenos Aires Wednesday in an attempt to crack down on protesters, who were tear-gassed and shot with rubber bullets and water cannons. A photographer is in serious condition and in a coma.
Recent protests have been led by retirees who are demanding secure pensions and access to free medications.
