Buenos Aires Province, Argentina – February 20, 2025: A wave of protests by Buenos Aires Province police õ has led to widespread administrative removals and criminal charges. Officers demand salary increases, improved healthcare coverage, and better working conditions, citing stress and inadequate resources. The demonstrations, centered at the Ministry of Security in La Matanza, escalated with siren protests in Ituzaingó, leading to at least 40 dismissals. Government authorities deemed these actions unlawful, charging some officers with sedition and public intimidation. The ongoing unrest highlights deep-rooted tensions between security forces and provincial leadership. (Credit: NEHUEN ROVEDIELLO/ UNAR AGENCY )
