Argentina: Anti-government organizations rally at Plaza de Mayo in downtown Buenos Aires Aug. 7

Anti-government activists affiliated with several organizations and political parties, including the Polo Obrero, are demonstrating at Plaza de Mayo in downtown Buenos Aires on Aug. 7. The action denounces the national government's current economic conditions and policies. The action follows a religious ceremony at the San Cayetano Sanctuary church, which led to a march from the intersection of Calle Cuzco and Avenida Rivadavia toward Plaza de Mayo. The protest has led to transport disruptions and heightened security in Buenos Aires.

Localized transport disruptions and heightened security are likely to persist in the area. Clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.
