Argentine Congress Vote for Pension Reform After 16 Hour-Long Session

The reform to the country‘s pension program, which reduces the social benefit by $4 million caused protests across the South American nation, resulting in violent clashes between protesters and members of the security forces.

“The rush to vote on this law overnight“ is a disservice to retirees, Frente de Izquierda‘s Nathalia Gonzalez stated, adding that the Argentine government is of the rich and only wants to benefit the rich.
