In a new day of violence in front of the National Congress, the federal security forces deployed a firm operation to ensure public order and prevent street blockades during the usual retirees' march.
The Federal Police, Gendarmerie, and National Coast Guard acted according to the anti-blockade protocol, protecting the citizens' right to free movement.
However, the demonstration turned violent when far-left terrorists and hooded groups, who claimed to support the retirees' demand, attempted to block traffic by performing a "traffic light protest." At that moment, the Gendarmerie infantry advanced preventively to contain the overflow but was met with physical aggression. The terrorists used sticks, belts, and blunt objects, directly confronting the officers.

At the intersection of Rivadavia Avenue, another column of protesters attacked the law enforcement forces, causing new disturbances. The police were forced to use tear gas and deterrent elements to restore control.
In this context, the aggressors, many of them with covered faces, even stole shields from the officers, showing a premeditated and coordinated action.
Several protesters were injured as a result of the confrontations they themselves caused, by challenging the authorities and acting violently. The disturbances caused traffic delays, despite the security forces' efforts to keep Rivadavia Avenue open through strategic fencing in the Callao area.

The National Security Minister, Patricia Bullrich, had previously warned about the presence of radicalized groups in the mobilization. The warning was confirmed when symbols and graffiti belonging to the left-wing terrorist organization Antifa were detected, considered internationally as a violent group with vandalism records and attacks on democratic institutions.
The security operation was key to preventing a greater escalation of violence. Thanks to the professional actions of the Police and federal forces, a situation that could have ended in chaos was contained, preserving the integrity of the Congress and the rights of all citizens.
