Chaos in Córdoba's traffic due to Passerini's inaction in preventing the blockades

Since Thursday morning, there have been demonstrations in the capital of Córdoba that restrict free vehicular movement

Driving through the streets of Córdoba capital on Thursday morning has become utter chaos. This is due to the multitude of demonstrations carried out by various sectors that are protesting for different reasons.

Many of the demonstrations are taking place in the context of the 56th anniversary of the Cordobazo. Protests by Suoem are being recorded, which is carrying out multiple demonstrations due to the wage conflict it is having with Passerini's administration. There are also protests by bank workers, the CGT, and providers and families of people with disabilities.

For this reason, it is suggested to avoid traveling through various areas of downtown, as there are blockades, delays, and detours in strategic areas. Although many of the protests include marches and the blockades are usually temporary, they still impact vehicular traffic in the downtown area.

Most of the protests are taking place through marches, and the blockades are generally temporary. However, traffic in the downtown area is still affected.

The situation worsened from mid-morning. This is because members of Suoem partially blocked traffic on one side of the bridges leading to downtown.

The most affected points for traffic are:

9 de Julio and Figueroa Alcorta Avenue.

Suoem headquarters.

Estrada Avenue and Buenos Aires.

Deodoro Roca Avenue, in the section before Plaza España.

Centenario Bridge.

Patio Olmos area.

Plaza San Martín area.

Major differences compared to the national administration

Passerini's passivity in the face of the blockades demonstrates his lack of competence. Meanwhile, Córdoba is suffering blockades, the mayor seems to remain indifferent to this situation. There is no control or visible authority from the municipality.

The national administration has shown that with determination and firmness, order can be restored. Passerini, on the other hand, consciously chooses inaction, becoming complicit in the chaos. Meanwhile, as he allows Córdoba to collapse, the protesters take over the city's streets.

In contrast to the national government, which implemented an effective protocol, ending total blockades on 9 de Julio. The difference is clear: where there is leadership, there is order. Passerini, on the other hand, has other intentions: expand the municipal structure and leave residents as hostages of the protesters.
