Argentina: Demonstrators to gather in Buenos Aires on November 23

Demonstrations set to gather in Buenos Aires on November 23; disruptions likely

Warning

Event

A demonstration is scheduled to take place in Buenos Aires on Monday, November 23. The demonstration is being held in support of pensioners and is related to an earlier announcement by the government that pensions would be increased by five percent in December, which some opponents are stating will not offset the rise in inflation. Participants are set to gather at approximately 17:00 (local time) outside Congress.

A heightened police presence and localized transport disruptions are likely in the vicinity of the demonstration site.

Advice

Those in Buenos Aires are advised to monitor the situation, avoid demonstrations and political gatherings as a precaution, and heed any instructions issued by local authorities.
