Milei government
VS
Protesters
The Milei government, led by libertarian President Javier Milei, has pursued a series of economic and social reforms since taking office in December 2023.
These include austerity measures, cuts to public university funding, and proposed changes to labour and property laws.
Protesters, including university students, teachers, unions, and other citizens, have opposed these reforms, accusing the government of contributing to rising inflation and poverty and of weakening Argentina's democratic institutions.
The conflict arises from the government's reform agenda, which protesters argue threatens public services, workers' rights, and national sovereignty.
Specific disputes include the university funding law, labour reform, and a private property bill that was partially amended after protests.
The government, in turn, has signaled a hard line on protests, threatening to cut off public aid to those who block thoroughfares and using facial recognition to bill protesters for security costs.
These tensions have led to repeated large-scale demonstrations, some of which have turned violent, with police using tear gas against protesters in Buenos Aires.
The stakes are high, as the reforms touch on fundamental aspects of Argentina's social contract and economic direction.
