"Protests and Controversy Surround Javier Milei's Radical Economic Policies in Argentina"

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Buenos Aires to demonstrate against Argentina's new president, Javier Milei, and his controversial economic measures. Milei, a radical libertarian economist, unveiled an emergency decree that included privatization of state-owned companies, removal of workers' rights, and changes to housing and land ownership laws. The policies sparked anger among opposition groups and citizens, leading to protests and road blockades. Critics accused Milei of bypassing congress and implementing an "absolute monarchy" that targeted the middle and lower classes. The protests reflect growing dissatisfaction with Milei's economic plan and austerity measures.
