Sources: 82. Developments: 4. Various sectors in Argentina are organizing nationwide protests to oppose the economic policies of President Javier Milei. Footwear manufacturers, representing over 280 businesses, have called for a national march tentatively scheduled for October 22 due to a crisis driven by declining consumption and competition from subsidized imports. The Unión de Trabajadores de la Industria del Calzado (Uticra) reports the sector has lost over 8,000 jobs since Milei took office. A major mobilization known as the ‘Marcha de la Bronca’ (March of Rage) took place on September 19, involving more than 350 organizations. In Buenos Aires, an estimated 50,000 people gathered to march toward Plaza de Mayo, citing grievances such as insufficient wages, rising utility rates, and government austerity measures. Tensions have since escalated as labor unions and political figures intensify their opposition. The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) has accused the administration of living in a “parallel reality,” arguing that the government’s narrative ignores widespread recession, rising poverty, and job losses. Labor disputes have intensified regarding waste collection services in Buenos Aires. The Camioneros union, led by Pablo Moyano, is demanding indemnities for approximately 6,000 workers as the city prepares to renew service concessions for the 2028-2038 period. Invoking a practice known as the ‘Moyano Law,’ the union is requesting payments that could exceed 100 million dollars. While the union has threatened assemblies and work stoppages, current preliminary bidding documents from the city government do not include these provisions. A public hearing is scheduled for October 5 to discuss the new contract terms. ## Claims - More than 350 social, union, student, and cultural organizations are participating in the mobilization.
