Movimiento piquetero

The Movimiento Piquetero is a social movement in Argentina where groups of unemployed or underemployed people organize protests and road blockades to demand better economic conditions, social welfare, and government policies. They often block highways or public spaces to draw attention to issues like poverty, lack of jobs, and inequality. This form of activism aims to pressure authorities to implement social programs, job creation, and economic reforms. The movement is a response to persistent economic challenges and highlights the struggles of marginalized communities seeking greater social justice and economic inclusion.
