 BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - Striking teachers and public workers tossed eggs and flour at President Nestor Kirchner's sister on Saturday, jostling the Cabinet minister as she visited the president's home province of Santa Cruz.
Alicia Kirchner, Argentina's minister for social development, was not seriously hurt during the brief fracas outside a restaurant in Rio Gallegos, some 1,675 miles south of Buenos Aires, authorities said.
TV newscasts showed angry protesters pulling the woman's hair, throwing flour on her head and trying to kick her before she could be whisked away from a protest by about 400 demonstrators in the provincial capital.
