Argentine unions lead march against labor flexibilization and higher retirement age proposals

2. Glad you liked it, Judi. Their efforts have indeed helped moderate Macris course (believe it or not)

Macri's spending a lot of money (a record $35 billion deficit this year) to breathe life into the economy - the very thing he swore the IMF and Wall Street business press that he'd never do.

There's no doubt he's been doing so out of political expediency - but it shows if nothing else that these mass demonstrations worry him enough to disregard IMF/neocon advice.

Will he heed their demands, and risk choking the economy (which since March has started to recover) back into a severe recession? We'll see.

Thanks as always for your thoughts and keen interest. ¡Matecitos!
