Argentina: Unionized public sector workers plan to protest nationwide Aug 21

Unionized public sector workers affiliated with the Association of State Workers (Asociacion de Trabajadores del Estado, ATE) plan to demonstrate nationwide on Aug. 21 to denounce President Javier Milei's policies. In Buenos Aires, activists will gather outside the National Congress in Buenos Aires. During the protests, reduced government services are probable.

Large demonstrations, with hundreds of participants, are likely in cities throughout Argentina; the largest gatherings are likely to take place in Buenos Aires. Demonstrations are particularly likely near government buildings and public squares. A heightened security presence and localized transit and business disruptions are likely near demonstrations. Clashes cannot be ruled out.
