Argentina's border police have clashed with protesters who blocked access to the international airport in Buenos Aires, according to AP. The confrontations broke out when officers tried to disperse hundreds of people blocking access to a highway leading to Ezeiza airport on Tuesday. Police used water cannons and rubber bullets, while at least one demonstrator was detained after protesters responded by throwing rocks and sticks. The demonstrators are former workers for a poultry company that employed about 3,000 people. They recently lost their jobs when the company suspended operations and are demanding back pay and government aid. The government of newly elected President Mauricio Macri is working on measures to impede the frequent blocking of roads during protests.
