Thousands gathered in cities across Argentina to protest a private property law recently approved by the government, with demonstrators arguing it will widen social inequality.

The legislation is part of a broader package of economic reforms the government has pushed through in recent months, several of which have already drawn public criticism and legal challenges.

Organizers said further demonstrations are planned in the coming weeks as opposition groups seek to build pressure ahead of any legislative review.
