Thousands of Argentinians bring central Buenos Aires to a standstill in another massive protest against the South American country's soaring inflation
Argentina's left and far-left have little clout at the ballot box but a great capacity to organise street protests.
The "Federal march for work and salaries, and against hunger and poverty" on Thursday was bolstered by thousands of people arriving from outside the capital, heeding the call from multiple unions and left-wing groups critical of center-left President Alberto Fernandez's social policies. In the first four months of 2022, prices rose 23 percent, including a 6 percent jump in April, according to figures published on Thursday.
