> Thousands of protesters gathered outside Argentina’s Congress in Buenos Aires to oppose a controversial property reform bill backed by President Javier Milei’s government. The demonstrations became violent, prompting police to deploy water cannons, tear gas and rubber bullets. The proposed legislation would strengthen private property rights, accelerate evictions and facilitate development on land affected by wildfires. A key provision that would have removed restrictions on foreign ownership was also part of the debate.
