Argentina: Protests planned in multiple locations of the city and province of Buenos Aires, July 7

Event

Civic groups, including members of Unidad Piquetera, intend to protest across various locations in the city of Buenos Aires and surrounding areas of the Buenos Aires Province, July 7. The activists are demanding jobs and denouncing poor economic conditions. Protests are likely outside government offices of multiple cities in the area starting at 09:00, including outside the offices of the Head of Government of the city of Buenos Aires, the government offices of the Buenos Aires Province in La Plata, and outside the city halls of Avellaneda, Jose C. Paz, and Moron.

Hundreds are likely to participate in most protests and they are likely to cause transport disruptions around the protest areas. Heightened security outside government offices is likely. Activists have called for protests in other provinces, but these have not been confirmed.

Advice

Avoid the protest sites July 7 due to possible clashes. If violence occurs nearby, immediately leave the area and seek shelter at a safe nongovernment building. Plan for localized transport disruptions and allow additional time to reach nearby destinations. Heed all official traffic and security advisories.
