Key insights
- A protest on June 12 resulted in more than 600 injuries and 35 arbitrary detentions, with four individuals remaining in high-security federal prisons. Detainees reported experiencing abuse in prison, including beatings, forced stripping, and being sprayed with tear gas, and face accusations of terrorism and attempted coup d'état.
- Under the six-month government of Javier Milei, poverty rates have risen to 55.5% and extreme poverty to 17.5%. The government is accused of attacking workers' rights through labor law 'flexibilization' and seeking 'super-powers' for the president to fully liberalize the activities of transnational extractive companies.
- The state utilized an 'anti-protest protocol' and undercover agents to attack protesters with rubber bullets, water cannons, and tear gas. This is described as part of a broader strategy of criminalizing protest and stigmatizing social movements in the media, alongside the suspension of subsidized food aid for community kitchens.
- International opposition to Javier Milei's policies has manifested in protests in Spain and Germany during his visits to those countries, which were funded by the Argentine state to support right-wing and far-right movements.
