Employees of Retirement and Pension Fund Administrators (AFJPs) protest in front of the Casa Rosada Presidential Palace in Buenos Aires, October 23, 2008. In a surprise move on Tuesday, Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner sent a bill to Congress that charted a takeover of the $30 billion in private pension fund accounts, sending stocks and bonds into a tailspin amid fears capital markets would dry up. The banner reads: "Yes to free choice". REUTERS/Marcos Brindicci (ARGENTINA)
