Argentina announced the dismissal of 15,000 state jobs as part of President Javier Milei's efforts to reduce spending and reform the public sector. The move is seen as a significant step in Milei's campaign promise to streamline the government and tackle the country's economic challenges.
Presidential spokesperson revealed the job cuts, emphasizing the need to trim state expenses and eliminate redundant positions that burden taxpayers. The decision has sparked protests from affected employees, with demonstrations outside government buildings in Buenos Aires and nearby cities.
