Argentina: Protest planned in Buenos Aires Feb. 3
Activists to protest a Supreme Court in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Feb. 3. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Event
Activists plan to demonstrate at the Supreme Court building in Buenos Aires from 19:00 Feb. 3. The purpose of the gathering is to condemn allegations that the judiciary favors opposition parties over the ruling party; the event is in response to a Feb. 1 rally at Plaza Lavalle by groups protesting perceived bias by the court. While thousands of people attended the Feb. 1 protest, it remains unclear how much participation the event on Feb. 3 may draw.
Transport disruptions are likely in the areas surrounding the demonstration Feb. 3. Police may deploy to the Supreme Court building; clashes with protesters are possible. Business disruptions are also likely in the affected areas.
Advice
Avoid all protests due to the possibility of clashes. Allow additional time to reach destinations in the vicinity of the Supreme Court building Feb. 3; confirm all appointments with the court. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately and seek shelter in a secure location.
