Clashes and arrests during protests at Plaza 5 de Mayo
This Wednesday afternoon, Plaza 5 de Mayo was the scene of intense clashes between groups of protesters and riot police. The situation in the city center became critical due to the increase in citizen protests, which have gained momentum in recent days.
During the riots, security agents used tear gas in an attempt to disperse the crowd occupying the square. For their part, some protesters threw objects and loud devices at law enforcement. These incidents caused moments of panic among people passing through the area and forced the closure of several nearby businesses.
Authorities reported that the operation resulted in the arrest of several people involved in the acts of violence. According to official reports, the police intervened to restore order and ensure safety on public roads. However, some civil groups have expressed concern about the intensity of the police response during the day.
Currently, the atmosphere around Plaza 5 de Mayo remains tense and under constant surveillance by the authorities. Citizens are advised to avoid the area and stay informed through official channels, as it is possible that the mobilizations will continue for the rest of the week.
