Thousands of Argentine farmers staged protests in Buenos Aires against President Alberto Fernández's new export taxes on farm goods. The farmers blocked roads leading to the presidential palace, expressing discontent with policies aimed at curbing food prices to address inflation. The agricultural sector plays a crucial role in Argentina's economy, and protesters demanded a reduction in taxes. The demonstration, rare in the capital, highlighted the farmers' frustration with government intervention and its impact on their livelihoods. The protest was organized independently without the involvement of a specific organization.
