Argentina: Pro-government activists plan march in central Buenos Aires May 25

Event

Pro-government activists plan to gather for a march at Plaza de Mayo in central Buenos Aires starting at 16:00 May 25. The purpose of the action is to show support for Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Nestor Kirchner's election to the presidency. Organizers have not yet specified a destination or specific route for the march.

The demonstration could involve thousands of participants. Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely. The gathering will probably remain largely peaceful; however, counterdemonstrations and low-level clashes are possible.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration as a precaution. Heed the instructions of authorities. Plan accordingly for localized transport disruptions. If clashes occur, leave the area immediately and take shelter in a secure, nongovernment building.
