Press TV - 10/4/12
Thousands of police officers have taken to the streets across Argentina in protest at pay cuts.
Argentina's gendarmerie members participate in a protest outside their headquarters at the Sentinel Building in Buenos Aires on October 3, 2012.
On Wednesday, protesting police officers marched through the streets of the capital Buenos Aires, waving their salary bills and chanting slogans such as “Nobody touches our pay,” AFP reported.
Similar demonstrations were also reported in other cities of the South American country, including Rosario and Comodoro Rivadavia.
Officials say the pay cuts, which are between 30 to 60 percent, are an administrative mistake and that the officers will receive their missing pay.
