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.[1]
Milei proposed reducing government ministries and addressing economic challenges through spending cuts and fiscal reforms. He criticized previous administrations for excessive spending.[2] Protesters, on the other hand, criticized Milei's reforms and blamed the government for causing inflation and poverty,[3] and for weakening Argentina's democracy.[4]
The reforms include tax breaks for investors and the firing of thousands of state employees. The protesters have called these reforms "radical overhaul".[5]
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".[6] Most of the protests took place in Buenos Aires, the capital and the most populous city in Argentina. Riot police attempted to disperse the protesters and arrested 18 demonstrators. A car belonging to the radio station Cadena 3 was set on fire.[7]
