> Thousands of students, professors and labour union members marched in Buenos Aires against President Javier Milei’s austerity plan, especially cuts to public university funding. Demonstrations near Congress turned into clashes with police, who used tear gas and water cannons. Protesters say the cuts are hurting education, eroding salaries and threatening students’ ability to continue studying.
