Groups of protesters marched on the square Plaza de Mayo in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires on July 28, led by professional organizers or “piqueteros” demanding more social plans and a basic universal income from the nation’s center-left government.

The demonstrators called for a minimum monthly income subsidy of 100,000 pesos, which amounts to US$758.
