Argentina's President Javier Milei faces another general strike in response to austerity measures AFP Argentina is bracing for fresh austerity protests Wednesday, with a 24-hour general strike slated to start at midnight against President Javier Milei, who remains focused on Washington and a new IMF loan. Thursday's labor action will be the third general strike in budget-slashing Milei's 16-month-old presidency, and was called by unions to protest his brand of "chainsaw" austerity. Milei had famously wielded a live chainsaw during his presidential campaign to symbolize the cuts he would make to the bureaucracy and social spending.
