Thousands of Argentines gathered Wednesday in the capital Buenos Aires to protest the new economic policies of President Javier Milei, Azernews reports, citing Anadolu Agency.
At the demonstration organized by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), the protesters expressed their opposition to a decree announced by Milei on Dec. 20 to proceed with sweeping economic reforms.
Speaking to journalists, Gerardo Martinez, general secretary of Argentina's construction workers' union, expressed their opposition to the decree.
"We are not questioning President Milei's legitimacy, but we want him to respect the separation of powers. Workers are defending their constitutional rights," he said.
The CGT, claiming that Milei's decree, which promised radical changes in the economy, is unconstitutional, emphasized the need for Congress to oppose the decision.
