Argentina: Protesters plan to gather at Puente Pueyrredon in Buenos Aires Dec. 2

Event

Demonstrators affiliated with the Union of Workers of the Popular Economy (Union de Trabajadores de la Economia Popular, UTEP) plan to gather in Buenos Aires on Dec. 2. Demonstrators will gather from 09:30 at Plaza Adolfo Alsina and march to Puente Pueyrredon, in the Avellaneda area, from 10:00. Participants may block traffic going into central Buenos Aires. Participants will protest due to several labor-related grievances.

Significant transport and business disruptions are likely in the areas surrounding the demonstration. Police will likely deploy to the area, and clashes with protesters are possible.

Advice

Avoid all protests due to the possibility of clashes. Allow additional time to reach destinations if operating in Buenos Aires, early Dec. 2. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately, and seek shelter in a secure location.
