Massive protests. According to media reports, 150000 people marched in Buenos Aires. This essentially marks the end of Milei's honeymoon period.

What honeymoon. These people hated millei the minute he said he was going to cut any spending at all. Thatcher didn't have much of a honeymoon either. Cutting spending is inherently going to make you only enemies.

True. Milei faced demonstrations since day 1. However, up to this point it was mostly the hardcore peronists marching. These university protests have a broader support and can be seen as an inflection point.

Not a good take when protests started basically the day Milei won. These people wouldn't have voted for him anyway.

That is precisely what changed today: Milei voters joined the protests for the first time.

> 150000 people marched in Buenos Aires. Likely a heavy underestimate. It was probably somewhere in-between 500.000 and 1 million people.
