Football Diehards and Argentine pensioners protest against Rentreform | Protest messages

The pensioners gathered every week in the capital of Argentina to protest against cuts of their pensions, who have been in office since the Libertary President Javier Milei took office at the end of 2023.

The unexpected support came from football supporters on Wednesday after earlier protests in Buenos Aires ended with several injured elderly.

A white -haired woman kept a shirt with the inscription: “Don't beat us, we are your parents!”

Behind their deputy followers of Boca Juniors and Racing Club – two of the “Big Five” teams of Argentina – as well as fans of the local team Chacarita Junior, who for the first time brought the pensioner to appear on the market to appear on Wednesday.

The football fans accepted a sentence by Argentine Great Diego Maradona in the march – “How could I not defend pensioners? You would have to be a real coward so as not to defend pensioners. “

Milei has reduced the pension payments as part of an overhaul of state expenditure in pension payments, which is intended to weaken the widespread inflation.

But that is most at risk of the disadvantage of Argentina, claims the opposition.

“We are for cleaning the public finance,” said Martin Loustau, Senator of Center links, in a post on X. “What we cannot allow is that these corrections are done in the fear, health and task of our pensioners.”

The protest on Wednesday also ended by violence when Security Minister Patricia Bullrich warned the so -called “Barra Bravas” that there would be right and order.

The police used water cannons and rubber balls to dispel the thousands of demonstrators outside of the congress after some saw how they threw rocks and other objects. Bullrich said more than 100 people were arrested and several injured.
