In Argentina, labor unions launched a general strike Monday that paralyzed the capital Buenos Aires, shutting down schools, banks, hospitals, airports, highways and public transportation to protest Argentine President Mauricio Macri’s austerity measures. This is strike leader Alejandro Bodart.

Alejandro Bodart: “This has to be the beginning of a fight plan; it cannot end here. We must defeat Macri and drive out the IMF, which is the only way out for us, the workers, to be able to turn around a situation that is suffocating us.”
