In Argentina, protests erupted in the capital Buenos Aires Wednesday, after President Mauricio Macri said his government was prepared to take on loans from the International Monetary Fund—the IMF. Argentina is still recovering from a massive economic crisis and default on its debts in 2001, which followed years of neoliberal reforms backed by the World Bank and IMF. This is Roberto Baradel, secretary general of the Argentine education workers’ union.

Roberto Baradel: “We’ve already lived through this. We don’t want to go back to the International Monetary Fund. Eighty percent of Argentina is opposed to the president’s statements, and that’s why we’re getting mobilized.”
