Cientos de policías desplegados, vallas que impiden el tránsito en las calles aledañas al Congreso argentino y avisos en el transporte público con la advertencia “la Policía va a reprimir todo atentado contra la República” dominan las horas previas a la protesta de los jubilados, que este miércoles volverá a tener el respaldo de sindicatos y movimientos sociales en Buenos Aires.
Argentina is experiencing a large police deployment, barriers, and warnings about "repression" ahead of a protest by retirees in Buenos Aires. The protest is against Javier Milei's government and will include university professors, unions, and social organizations. Authorities have removed 350 waste containers and issued warnings about police response to any "attack against the Republic." The protest follows a previous demonstration where 124 people were detained and 46 injured. The government seeks to detain 29 people from the prior protest and offers a reward for information on those who "promoted the disturbances." Protesters demand the resignation of the Minister of National Security and advocate for increased pensions, medication coverage, and the continuation of a pension payment plan.
