ARGENTINA : 1 Million Protest President Cristina Fernandez's Policies.
In Buenos Aires...and other cities...an estimated 1 million people marched against President Cristina Fernandez and her policies.
They banged pots and chanted slogans against hyperinflation, currency controls and crime.
It was the opposition's biggest turnout since November 2012.
But it was proposed judicial reforms that originally brought the crowds into the streets.
The government wants voters to choose magistrates who would appoint and remove judges.
