Buenos Aires erupted in violence as police clashed with protesters over President Javier Milei’s economic reforms. Riot police used tear gas and water cannons outside Congress, where demonstrators threw petrol bombs and stones. The unrest coincided with the Senate's preliminary approval of Milei's budget cuts, including pension reductions and weakened labor rights. The reform package aims to address Argentina's economic crisis but faces strong opposition from leftist groups. Vice President Victoria Villarruel cast the tie-breaking vote, expressing hope for Argentina’s future. The 328-article bill now undergoes detailed review before a final vote.
