HAPPENING IN ARGENTINA

Argentina is burning. It's not the forests that are on fire, it's the people. As President Javier Milei attempts to sell off national land to JOOS, the streets of Buenos Aires have erupted with tear gas, rubber bullets, and water cannons. The rallying cry: "The homeland is not for sale."

On August 6, 2026, thousands of Argentines gathered outside the Congress in Buenos Aires not for soccer, not for a holiday but to stop their country from being auctioned off.

What were they protesting? Milei's "Inviolability of Private Property" bill wasn't about protecting citizens' property; it aimed to raise the cap on foreign ownership of Argentine land from 15% to 25%, accelerate eviction procedures, and loosen land regulations. People chanted "The homeland is not for sale" because they saw it as a move toward colonization, fragmentation, and the end of national sovereignty.

Did the government back down? Faced with a backlash from angry provincial governors, the opposition, and citizens, Milei withdrew the clauses regarding foreign land ownership. But protesters weren't fooled: "Almost the entire bill points in the same direction handing over our assets," 67-year-old Carlos Miño told AFP.

How did the police respond? Tear gas, rubber bullets, and water cannons. At least two police officers and one protester were injured, and ten people were arrested. All this took place in a country that has already sold off land the size of England (13 million hectares nearly the size of France) to foreign interests.

This isn't just about legislation, it's about survival. As Milei pushes his "libertarian" agenda, Argentines are resisting the plans of globalist elites to sell national land to multinational corporations. The protests in Argentina are not merely a domestic event; they are part of a global wave of resistance from students in India to the "Flamingo Revolution" in Albania, people are saying "no" to the "Great Reset."
