Protesting in Buenos Aires


Buenos Aires has been having some very noisy protests lately, starting all the way back in June. Citizens are going to the streets with pots and pans in order to clang them together so they can get attention and have their voices heard. They are protesting high crime rates, high inflation, and a corrupt government. The protesters are sick and tired of insecurity and lies, and they want a reform. Lately, these protests have become a global sensation, with people coming out to the streets all over the world to support the Argentinians. Marches are happing and Sydney, Australia, and other marches are being planned in other major cities such as New York, Paris, and London. The protesters in Argentina say they just want their voices to be heard without fear of retaliation from the government or violent citizens.
