Protests and tension in Buenos Aires: hundreds of protesters demand the "eviction" of Peter Thiel in front of his mansion

Protesters gathered outside Peter Thiel's mansion in Buenos Aires, demanding his expulsion from Argentina and opposing the 'Super RIGI' project, which aims to expand benefits for large investments. The demonstration was organized by the Coordinadora Plurinacional Basta de Falsas Soluciones and supported by environmental, social, and political groups opposed to extractivism. Key slogans included 'Desalojo express a Peter Thiel,' 'Fuera Peter,' and 'Los territorios y el agua no se venden.' Participants wore costumes referencing J.R.R. Tolkien’s 'The Lord of the Rings,' reflecting Thiel’s fandom and his naming of companies like Palantir. National Deputy Juan Marino endorsed the protest, criticizing 'technofascism.' The event followed a congressional hearing where journalists from PERFIL exposed Thiel’s ties to libertarian circles and the Argentine government, particularly linking him to figures like Gabriel Delgado Ayau.
