"Argentina's Government Vows Tough Measures Against Protesters Blocking Streets"

Argentina's incoming libertarian government, led by President Javier Milei, has introduced new security guidelines to crack down on anticipated protests following the devaluation of the country's currency. The guidelines include identifying protesters and billing them for the cost of security forces deployed to police their demonstrations. Human rights groups and opposition legislators have criticized the rules, stating that they criminalize legitimate protests and suppress the right to protest. The new protocol also empowers police to seize items that could be used in demonstrations and limits the participation of teenagers in protests. Protests are expected in response to wage cuts and economic measures implemented by Milei's administration, which has seen hyperinflation rates soar.
