1:24Now PlayingThousands flooded the streets outside Argentina’s National Congress on Wednesday, marking the return of pensioner-led protests with renewed backing from the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) and affiliated unions. Retirees condemned President Javier Milei, blaming him for stripping retirees of their income and leaving them unable to pay for utilities, groceries, or prescriptions.
Pension spending has been a primary target of Milei’s administration. Authorities have also frozen supplementary payments for minimum-wage pensioners, tightened eligibility for free medications under the state-run PAMI healthcare program, and vetoed legislation that would have expanded benefits.
Union leaders have signaled that Wednesday’s rally is only the beginning. The CGT has announced a new campaign of protests, with future actions set to focus squarely on pension levels, access to medicines, and the broader trajectory of the government’s economic policies.
