Argentina: Supporters of high-profile former footballer to march in Buenos Aires March 10

Event

Supporters of the former high-profile footballer, Diego Maradona, plan to hold a march starting at the Obelisk in Buenos Aires, from 1800 March 10. The exact march route and end point has not been confirmed. The rally is to demand justice for Maradona's death Nov. 25, 2020, amid controversies around allegations of medical negligence. Thousands of people could join the march.

Police will probably deploy to monitor the march and possibly enforce road closures to facilitate the action. The march is likely to conclude peacefully, though the possibility of isolated skirmishes cannot be discounted. The event is likely to cause localized traffic disruptions.

Advice

Avoid all protests as a standard precaution. Heed the directives of the authorities. Plan for localized traffic disruptions in the Buenos Aires city center the evening of March 10.
