The Government of Javier Milei faces a new wave of violence from the Kirchnerist opposition and leftist sectors.
Hooligans and Kirchnerist activists clashed with security forces at the Congress, leaving behind a trail of destruction, at least 124 detained, in a demonstration that, far from being peaceful, reflected the opposition's violence and intolerance.
Under the pretext of "defending retirees," the situation quickly escalated when hooligans and leftist activists began provoking security forces, throwing stones and sticks at the officers.
The situation worsened when the protesters directly confronted the police, sparking a series of riots that culminated in the burning of City Police vehicles and the destruction of public property.
In a statement from the Ministry of Security, it was reported: "During the operation, Federal Forces detained 21 men and 4 women, while the City Police apprehended 73 men and 26 women".
The damages and injuries
According to official sources, the material damages are enormous. Besides the burned patrol car, significant destruction was recorded in the public thoroughfare, with broken tiles and burned trash containers.
Despite the Public Space Secretariat having taken preventive measures by removing trash cans near the Congress, the protesters used those located on Avenida de Mayo to continue the disturbances.
