Saw this in an article about the Argentinian president's declining popularity:
However, there are growing signs that discontent [in Argentina] is widening beyond the middle class. Coastguards and the gendarmerie, a military police force, last week staged unprecedented demonstrations against a decree that led to wage cuts for many.I sometimes wonder how our police or military would react if their pay or benefits were cut.
The spectacle of uniformed security officials in open conflict with the government at a time when rising crime is a top public concern was an embarrassment for the government.
