Argentina workers hold minimum wage funeral as inflation is predicted to rise to 90 per cent
A group of Argentine workers dressed in black carried a coffin through the streets of the capital Buenos Aires — but it wasn't a person they were mourning.
Instead it was to mourn the "death" of the wages of Argentine workers in a country where inflation is expected to hit 90 per cent by the end of this year, eating up workers' purchasing power despite years of government attempts to curb price increases.
Representative for Front of Organizations in Struggle (FOL) — who organised the protest — Melisa Gargarello said the situation for workers was "devastating".
