Solving the problems?: Argentina’s Minister of Human Capital Sandra Pettovello said the government will deprive social benefits of participants in protests with street closures. The new government decided to take such a step due to the announcement by public organizations and left parties of mobilization on December 20th. Argentine authorities fear that peaceful protests could escalate into violent fighting. That is why Javier Miley proposed the following option to social activists and the opposition - protests can only be held on the sidewalks, and the security forces involved in the operation can carry firearms. The protesters did not agree to this condition, which led to such a controversial step by the government. Источник: Slavyangrad
