Argentina police disperse march against property bill with tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon

Clashes erupted outside Argentina's Congress in Buenos Aires on Thursday as police confronted demonstrators protesting the Inviolability of Private Property bill under debate in the Senate.
Police used tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon to disperse the crowd. Twelve people were detained during the unrest. The bill is expected to expand property rights protections, making expropriation and seizure processes more difficult.
The demonstration is one of the latest signs of social pushback against President Javier Milei's economic reform agenda. Opponents argue the bill would hurt lower-income Argentines, while the government contends it will boost investor confidence.
