Thousands Protest in Argentina Under President Javier Milei, Demand Increased Education Funding in Torchlit Marches; Pensioners Also Rally

Thousands of university teachers, students, and staff in Argentina have organized torchlit marches and protests in Buenos Aires and other cities to demand increased funding for public education. These demonstrations are in response to budget cuts implemented by President Javier Milei's government. Protesters argue that the public university system is under attack and call for legislation to guarantee financial support for the education sector. Additionally, Argentine pensioners have recently taken to the streets to demand higher pension payments, reflecting broader social discontent with government austerity measures.
