Argentine protesters are a group of demonstrators in Argentina who have organized public actions to express opposition to the presence and business activities of Peter Thiel, an American tech billionaire and co-founder of the data analytics company Palantir.
Thiel is also a shareholder in Vista Energy, an oil company operating in Argentina.
The protesters have used creative tactics, including dressing as Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings, to draw attention to their cause.
The conflict centers on Thiel's business interests in Argentina, particularly his reported purchase of a mansion in Buenos Aires and his involvement in the oil sector.
Protesters have gathered outside his home and under the slogan 'Peter Thiel go home' to reject the 'Super RIGI' incentive scheme, which they argue threatens national sovereignty.
The demonstrations reflect broader concerns about foreign influence and economic policies in the country.
