Thousands of people protest in Buenos Aires against a controversial private property bill backed by President Javier Milei’s government. Demonstrators gather outside Argentina’s Senate and call for changes to the legislation, which opponents say could affect land ownership rules. Several outlets report that rallies turn violent, with police clashing with protesters and incidents including scuffles, tear gas use and rubber bullets.
Both reports note that the government has already removed a major element of the bill. In particular, Milei’s administration drops the most contentious provision, which would have raised limits on foreign ownership of land. Despite this adjustment, protesters continue to express anger, according to the outlets’ accounts.
The demonstrations reflect ongoing public debate over the bill’s implications for property rights and land access in Argentina. While supporters and opponents differ on the bill’s likely impact, the street protests and police responses underscore that the revised text has not resolved concerns raised by protest groups and activists.
