Description
Demonstrators clash with police during Wednesday's pensioners' protest in Buenos Aires. A dozen protesters were affected by pepper spray, and one man was arrested. While retirees are calling for government reforms to pensions, this week they also protested against the IMF's $20 billion loan.
"The IMF for our country means hunger, hunger and repression," says 86-year-old retiree Miguel.
Oscar, 39, a protester supporting the rally who was hit by pepper spray, says "there's no money for anything, but there's always money for repression," lamenting that elderly people are left alone in Argentina. "And tomorrow we'll all be old." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
