Argentina: Protests Rooted in the Economy

Discontent from all segments of the population has led to growing social unrest in Argentina. In recent weeks, various union factions have staged protests that attracted tens of thousands of participants, and social media groups are rallying Argentines to gather Nov. 8 for a national-level protest that will mirror a September rally that took place in cities across the country. The rising dissatisfaction reflects Argentina's growing economic troubles as government restrictions across all sectors of the economy have exacerbated the challenges already facing many Argentines, particularly the middle class.
