Argentina: Education activists to demonstrate in central Rosario from 18:00 on Oct. 30
Education activists to march from Plaza San Martin to Plaza 25 de Mayo, Rosario, Argentina, 18:00 Oct. 30. Tight security likely.
Education activists affiliated with the National University of Rosario (Universidad National de Rosario, UNR) will march in central Rosario during the evening of Oct. 30. Activists aim to defend public education and denounce the perceived lack of education funding in the 2025 budget. Participants will gather at Plaza San Martin at 18:00 and march to Plaza 25 de Mayo. Though the number of participants is unclear, the event will likely be well attended.
Heightened security and localized transport and business disruptions are likely near protest venues. Clashes between police and demonstrators cannot be ruled out.
As a precaution, avoid the protest and seek alternative routes to circumvent the impacted area. If clashes occur, leave the area immediately and seek shelter in a secure, nongovernment building. Heed the authorities' directives. Plan for localized transit and business disruptions during the march.
