VOICED : Movimientos sociales se manifiestan contra el FMI en Argentina

In Argentina, a large protest took place in Buenos Aires against the IMF, with citizens expressing dissatisfaction over the fiscal program and economic conditions, including unemployment and hunger. The outgoing president, Mauricio Macri, had secured a deal with the IMF in 2018 to address a currency crisis, leading to economic challenges like recession and inflation. Protesters demand that the debt be paid by banks and capitalists, not the working class. With Alberto Fernández's election victory, it is anticipated that the new government will need to restructure the debt, focusing on poverty alleviation and investigating the debt's legitimacy.
