Photographer Injured by Tear Gas at Weekly Retirees' Protest Outside Congress

Photographer Antonio Becerra from Tiempo Argentino was injured by tear gas fired by federal security forces during the weekly retirees' protest in front of the National Congress in Buenos Aires. RSF (Reporters Without Borders) documented the incident, noting that retirees have held weekly protests at Congress since February 19, 2026, opposing pension cuts under the Milei government's fiscal adjustment program. This incident, combined with the May 21 arrest of photographer Tomás Cuesta, prompted RSF to issue a formal warning about Argentina's deteriorating press freedom trajectory.
