Dozens of Argentine protesters gathered at the National Congress building during a congressional session on March 10 to throw stones and other projectiles, breaking windows and damaging items within offices, as lawmakers debated the government’s agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on refinancing billions in debt.

Some demonstrators lit fires outside and burned the IMF logo.
