Argentine Cabinet Offers to Quit After Protests. BUENOS AIRES -- Just days after being sworn in, Argentina's Cabinet offered to resign on Saturday after protests overnight against the new Peronist government's handling of a long recession turned violent. All the ministers for interim President Adolfo Rodriguez Saa offered to quit, a government spokesman told reporters. It was not known whether the resignations had been accepted. Thousands of Argentines took to the streets overnight to protest banking curbs and alleged government corruption, but the demonstrations turned violent and left a dozen police injured. Thirty-three people were arrested. Deadly protests just over a week ago killed 27 people and led Fernando de la Rua to resign as president on Dec. 20. Rodriguez Saa is slated to lead Latin America's third-largest economy, stuck in deep recession since 1998, until elections for a new president in March. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
