It is not uncommon in Latin America for low-ranking police officers and soldiers to take part in strikes to increase their salaries or obtain better working conditions. In most Latin American countries, they are banned from protesting, going on strike or even holding political office (mainly because civil society doesn't trust the military or the police due to the long history of coups).

Which I suppose it's good because it stops the cops and corrupt generals in the armed forces from getting power and sometimes bad because it leaves a class of people, who are usually poor people, specially in the case of low ranking soldiers, without political representation.

Yes, but what happens when Milei stops paying federal officers who were sent in to maintain order?

Stay tuned for about two weeks

Milei stops paying federal officers who were sent in to maintain order?

Milei could still send the Army. But to do that he would require the congress to approve this, De La Rua tried this in 2000, and he failed because the Peronists hated him and they controlled the congress at the time. De La Rua's goverment (which Patricia Bullrich, Milei's current Minister of Security, was part of) collapsed after this and he had to escape Buenos Aires by helicopter.

Everyone hates Milei in the Argentine congress and senate, with exception of Milei's small party and Macri's neoliberals (Together they have 75 seats, while the Peronists alone have 99). And the UCR (Anti-Peronist Socdems, 34 seats) also hate Milei and will never approve this.
