AFP. ROSARIO, Argentina: Much more than 300.000 people rallied Sunday in the industrial centre of Rosario, northwest of the capital Buenos Aires, in support of farmers protesting export taxes on lucrative soybean products.

 

The opposition-backed farmers staged the protest in Rosario, the principal port for agricultural exports and Argentina's soy, two and a half months after a bitter dispute erupted over export tariffs imposed on soybean products.

 

"The government is blind and deaf. I hope they understand that we don't want a coup, we demand only equity and justice," Sara Castillejos, a 48-year-old farmer from the Sante Fe province, told AFP.

 

About 1,300 kilometers (807 miles) to the northwest, about 60,000 gathered in Salta to hear President Cristina Kirchner -- who has defended the tariffs -- at ceremonies marking the 198th anniversary of independence from Spain.
