Hundreds of citizens turned out across Argentina to protest the nationalization of a company working in the field of agriculture, and hundreds demonstrated in the vicinity of the company’s headquarters in the city of Avellaneda in the capital, Buenos Aires, according to photos broadcast by “Reuters” agency. The demonstrators knocked pots together to express the protest.
The Argentine government announced earlier that it would assume the responsibility of the stalled company and would appoint a manager for it. It is noteworthy that “Vicentin” is one of the largest agricultural companies in Argentina, as it mainly produces and exports grains, oilseeds and meat..
The company is reported to owe $ 1.4 billion to banks and suppliers, business leaders and conservative opposition have rejected the left-wing government’s move to nationalize it, and President Alberto Fernandez’s critics oppose strong state economic intervention..
It is noteworthy that agriculture is a major industry in Argentina, which is currently suffering from a major economic crisis, and the government continues to negotiate with private creditors to reduce its debts..
