This Wednesday afternoon, Plaza 5 de Mayo was the center of heavy clashes between groups of protesters and the police. The situation in this area of the city became tense as protests continue to increase in different parts of the country.
During the incidents, crowd control units used tear gas and flashbangs to try to disperse the people present. The protesters, who had gathered to express their demands, faced off against officers in an atmosphere of great confusion.
As a result of these disturbances, authorities confirmed the arrest of several people. Additionally, the use of gas affected not only the protest participants but also citizens passing through the area, forcing the temporary closure of some main streets.
