ARGENTINA: Protesters take to streets to defend public education
Hundreds of thousands of students staged a march to Argentina’s iconic Plaza de Mayo outside the presidential palace Casa Rosada on 12 May to demand that the far-right La Libertad Avanza (LLA) government led by President Javier Milei comply with the university financing law approved by congress. They were joined by trade union movements and members of opposition parties, seeking to take advantage of a dip in the popularity of Milei over an illicit enrichment scandal surrounding his cabinet chief, Manuel Adorni. The Milei administration seized on the presence of politicians in the march to claim that it had been politicised with the aim of destabilising the government.
