Argentina: Protesters flood Buenos Aires as Senate votes for new budget

15.11.2018
Tensions were running high as protesters flooded streets of Buenos Aires on Wednesday condemning the adoption of 2019's budget.
Police was present to monitor and block access to streets leading to the senate building.
The protest was held amid a senate vote on the budget which proposes severe reductions in government spending as well as tax increases.
In September, the Argentine government secured a record-breaking €49 billion ($57bn) rescue package from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), though many are strongly opposed to IMF involvement in the country's affairs as they view the organisation as responsible for Argentina's financial collapse 17 years ago.
