Argentine Transport Workers Strike Against Milei's Austerity Policies

The nationwide protest disrupts major ports and transport services, challenging the government's economic reforms.

Transportation unions in Argentina initiated a 24-hour strike, halting trains, planes, and affecting grain shipments at key ports.
The strike is in response to President Javier Milei's austerity measures, which include layoffs and plans to privatize state-run Aerolineas Argentinas.
Over a million passengers faced disruptions, with more than 1,800 trains and 263 flights canceled, affecting thousands of travelers.
The protest also impacted waste collection and included road blockades, with education unions joining to demand higher university budgets.
Milei's economic policies have led to Argentina's first budget surplus in 15 years but have also increased poverty levels and sparked public discontent.
