Protest against food prices

Buenos Aires – Thousands took to the streets in 50 Argentine cities and towns on Wednesday demanding the government declare a “food emergency” and put an end to suffocating price increases.

“We are losing work, food, education, housing ... it’s desperation that is emerging among our people,” said Osvaldo Ulacio, 60, as he marched in the capital Buenos Aires.

“They have left us no other tool than to come out in the streets.”
