Unemployed workers and peasants on the verge of revolt in many countries – Argentina faces unrest
This is happening all over the world. Common people are just unhappy. Unemployed and underemployed workers and peasants are on the verge of revolution in many countries. In India, China, America, Africa, Middle East, ASEAN countries – everywhere the common people are hard pressed with lack of opportunities and higher prices of energy.
Unemployed Argentine workers protested in Buenos Aires for the third consecutive day Aug. 31 to press their demand for an increase in cash payments the government makes to them because they are out of work. Groups of "piqueteros," or picketers, protested at one of the city's main train stations and outside the presidential residence, while others blockaded at least six main roads outside Buenos Aires and the city of Rosario, 195 miles north of Buenos Aires. Interior Minister Anibal Fernandez said the government would arrest and prosecute protesters, and charged that political groups are behind the protests.
