Hey there! Did you hear about the big news in Argentina? 🇦🇷 Let me tell you all about it!
On Thursday, April 10, workers all across Argentina joined together for a 24-hour general strike. That means many people stopped working for a whole day to make their voices heard.
A strike is when workers decide not to work to show that they want changes or need something important. It’s like when students decide to protest for better school lunches by not eating lunch for a day!
This was the third time people have done this since President Javier Milei took office in December 2023. That’s a lot in a short time!
President Javier Milei is the new leader of Argentina. He’s got some big decisions to make, and not everyone is happy with them.
At the same time, Argentina is working on getting a new $20 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF is like a big bank that helps countries with money when they need it, but loans often come with conditions.
It’s a big moment for Argentina, and people are standing up for what they believe in. What do you think about this? 🤔
