Protesting Government Policies in Argentina- by Ausia Jones

          On November 8th, thousands of people gathered in Buenos Aires, Argentina and protested against government  policies. The protest was the latest in a series of "cacerolazos," protests named for the cooking pots participants hit to draw attention to including crime rates, inflation and political corruption problems. One of the main reasons people were on the streets was because of the possibility that President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner could push through changes to the country's constitution and run for re-election. Demonstrators packed a 14-block stretch in Buenos Aires. It's was a scene that played out on the streets of Argentina's capital for months and finally went global. site: http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/08/world/americas/argentina-protests/index.html?iref=allsearch
