Argentina: Activists to gather at Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires, Sept. 16, to support the national government

Event

Activists affiliated with Movimiento Evita and Barrios de Pie plan to rally at Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires from 15:00 Sept. 16 in support of President Alberto Fernandez's administration. The rally follows the defeat of Fernandez's allies in the Everyone's Front (Frente de Todos) coalition in the primary legislative elections, Sept. 12.

Thousands of people are likely to participate in the rally, which will likely lead to localized transport and business disruptions in Buenos Aires' downtown area. Heightened security in the area is likely. Clashes are unlikely.

Advice

Avoid all protests as a precaution. Allow additional time to reach your destination if operating in downtown Buenos Aires, Sept. 16.
