Argentina university funding protests

Tens of thousands of Argentines have flooded the streets to protest funding cuts to public universities by President Javier Milei.

The demonstrations in major cities like Buenos Aires mark the latest clash over the government's sweeping austerity measures.

The fourth major demonstration over university budgets since Milei took office came a day after it emerged that his government plans to further reduce spending.

The protesters are demanding the restoration of funding to ensure the survival of public higher education.

Milei has defended the cuts as necessary to tackle the country's economic crisis.
