Buenos Aires, Feb 27 (efe-epa).- The streets of Buenos Aires on Saturday were the epicenter of nationwide protests against the Argentinian administration in the midst of a ‘VIP vaccine’ scandal after it emerged that dozens of people, including ministers and government representatives, skipped the queue.
Protests took place in several parts of the country, the largest of them in the capital, where the protesters packed the emblematic Plaza de Mayo, in front of the presidential office Casa Rosada, and other areas of the city center.
“There was a VIP vaccine for the people of La Campora (pro-government political youth group) and the poor old men who are dying were not given them. They were robbed of it, and there is no other excuse. That’s why we came to protest, so that everyone resigns,” demonstrator Carlos Alberto Moreno told EFE.
