Argentina: Anti-government demonstration scheduled in Buenos Aires October 19

Event

Anti-government demonstrators are set to gather outside the Supreme Court in Buenos Aires on Monday, October 19, as part of continued calls against the government's reversal of their decision to reassign three judges. Participants are set to gather from 19:00 (local time) at the court, located on Avenida Talcahuano. Protesters believe the reversals are politically motivated and intend to protect Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who is currently facing various corruption cases in court and who opposed the reassignment of the judges.

A heightened security presence and localized travel disruptions should be anticipated in the vicinity of any protest.

Advice

Those in Buenos Aires are advised to monitor developments, avoid large gatherings as a precaution, and adhere to all instructions issued by the local authorities.
