Employees of the Retirement and Pension Fund Administrators (AFJPs) protest against a government plan to nationalize private pension funds, outside the Congress in Buenos Aires, October 28, 2008. The proposal by President Cristina Fernandez would allow the government to take over some $30 billion held in pension funds as Argentina faces billions of dollars in debt payments coming due next year.
