00:00
It's Argentina's largest demonstration in months.
00:03
In Buenos Aires and other cities across the country, thousands came out to defend diversity
00:08
and show their opposition to President Javier Mele.
00:11
Their signs call for resistance and compare the president to a Nazi.
00:16
I am scared, I feel disgusted and it makes me sad, but I won't hide because I'm scared.
00:24
We have always existed in different ways under all kinds of governments, but to see Nazism
00:29
rise to power is very difficult to watch and truly terrifying.
00:36
The message that this government is trying to send is that the other, which would be
00:44
us, is something bad that needs to be removed, like a virus that must be eradicated, a cancer
00:51
that must be cut out.
00:53
They want to erase us from history, take away our rights and strip us of what we have fought
00:59
for.
01:01
The march was organised by women's and LGBTQ rights groups, with the backing of trade unions
01:06
and opposition politicians.
01:08
It comes after the president's controversial comments on inclusion and diversity at Davos
01:13
last month.
01:15
His administration insisted Mele was the victim of malicious interpretation, however it's
01:20
not his first attack on minority rights.
01:22
Mele dissolved the Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversity during his first year in office.
