THE Mothers of Plaza de Mayo and other social movements took to the streets of Buenos Aires on Thursday to protest against Argentine President-elect Javier Milei ahead of his inauguration on December 10 of this year.
Protesters marched with banners, including messages like ‘They shall not pass!’ and ‘30,000 detained, disappeared,’ in Argentina‘s capital.
