Wednesday's protests in Buenos Aires saw retirees and soccer fans clashing with police, voicing their discontent with President Milei's economic policies. Pensioners demand increased pensions as they face significant austerity measures. The unrest escalated from initial peaceful protests, demonstrating a unity among disparate groups against the government's fiscal decisions. A significant portion of the elderly population lives on limited pensions, which have not kept pace with inflation. Security Minister Bullrich condemned the violence while asserting governmental control in the face of unrest.
For several weeks, retirees have staged protests calling for increased pensions, citing a precarious standard of living. The Milei government has imposed public spending cuts since coming to power, significantly impacting the elderly.
Security Minister Patricia Bullrich described the protesters as 'hooligans,' stating that 'the law rules, not the hooligans or the left,' highlighting the government's stance on maintaining order amid increasing unrest.
