Mass Protests Erupt Across Argentina as Anger Mounts over Poverty & Unemployment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Argentina, tens of thousands of people held demonstrations in Buenos
Aires and throughout the country this weekend as anger mounted over
skyrocketing unemployment and a worsening economic crisis triggered by
the pandemic. This is a protester in Buenos Aires.

Néstor Pluis: "My brother is unemployed. Many of my neighbors are
without a job. We see a lot of people are suffering around the country
due to a lack of work. Politicians should get their act together. People
are tired of lies."
