Argentina: Leftist activists plan demonstration near Congress in Buenos Aires from 21:00 March 1 to protest President Javier Milei's policies
Leftist activists plan protest in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for 21:00 March 1 against President Milei. Tight security, disruptions likely.
Political activists aligned with the Left Unity Front (Frente de Izquierda-Unidad) are planning a demonstration near Congress in central Buenos Aires from 21:00 March 1 to denounce the policies of President Javier Milei. The rally will coincide with Milei's first address to Congress. Crowds of several thousand are likely.
A heightened security presence is almost certain in the area, as are localized transit, mass transit, and business disruptions. Counter-demonstrations and clashes involving rival protest groups or police are possible.
Avoid all protests as a precaution. Heed the directives of authorities. Plan for localized transit and business disruptions. If clashes occur, immediately seek shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building.
