Thousands of Argentines banging pots and pans protest a month-old banking freeze limiting cash withdrawals in Buenos Aires, Saturday, Dec. 29, 2001. Riot police fired barrages of tear gas and rubber bullets early Saturday at rock-throwing demonstrators as the large but peaceful protest against government austerity measures degenerated into violence. The spontaneous outburst is the second time Argentina's struggling middle class shows their frustration since similar protests a week ago helped topple thepresidency of Fernando De la Rua.

Well I'm not sure it's the "struggling middle class" that is starting bonfires. Looks like the Seattle anarchist types to me. This smells of a successful leftist putsch, and not a spontaneous uprising of housewives. Expect to see further clampdown soon, now that the commie Peronists are in power illegitimately. They will consolidate and rule by decree.
