The 2024 Argentina protests were a series of protests and riots in Argentina, lasting from January to June, in response to reforms introduced by president Javier Milei.
Milei proposed reducing government ministries and addressing economic challenges through spending cuts and fiscal reforms, and criticized previous administrations for excessive spending.[1] Protestors, on the other hand, criticized Milei's reforms and government for causing inflation and poverty[2] and for weakening Argentina's democracy.[3]
The reforms include tax breaks for investors and the firing of thousands of state employees. The protestors have called these reforms "radical overhaul".[4]
On 12 June 2024, Argentina's Senate passed Milei's reforms by a majority vote of 37–36. The package included "measures on privatization and tax breaks for investors".[5] Most of the protests took place in Buenos Aires, the capital and most populous city in Argentina. Riot police attempted to disperse the protestors and arrested 18. A car belonging to the radio station Cadena 3 was set on fire.[6]
