Argentine farm leader Alfredo De Angeli (C, bottom) sits with other demonstrators to block a road, while Argentine border policemen stand aside, on the outskirts of Gualeguaychu, some 240 km (150 miles) north of Buenos Aires, May 29, 2008.

A new tax on hugely profitable soy angered farmers, who have held three massive protests in less than three months, causing a political crisis for President Cristina Fernandez.
