Argentina: Unionized university workers to hold protests nationwide June 25-27

Unionized university workers associated with the Union Front of National Universities (Frente Sindical de Universidades Nacionales) plan to hold protests in multiple locations nationwide June 25-27 to demand increased salaries and larger investments in public higher education. Activists have confirmed a rally outside Palacio Sarmiento in Buenos Aires, starting at 12:00 June 25. Although further details regarding gathering locations remain unclear, potential rally sites include government buildings, universities, public parks, and thoroughfares in Buenos Aires and other major cities, including La Plata, Cordoba, Mendoza, and Rosario June 25-27.

Heightened security and transport disruptions are likely near protest sites. The demonstrations are likely to be peaceful; however, clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out.
