Big Problem For Milei: Argentina Scientists Protest Government’s Cuts To Science Budget

Argentine scientists and university workers called for a nationwide march on Wednesday, August 12, protesting deep cuts to the country's scientific and higher education systems under President Javier Milei's government. The reductions are part of Milei's broader programme to cut public spending. While the government's austerity measures have helped bring down inflation after years of economic instability, they have also reduced purchasing power and affected public support for the administration.
