Heavy clashes and arrests during protests at Plaza 5 de Mayo
This Wednesday afternoon, Plaza 5 de Mayo became the scene of intense clashes between groups of protesters and riot police units. The situation, which began as a peaceful protest, escalated quickly when both groups met at this central point in the city.
During the incidents, security forces used tear gas to try to disperse those present. On the other hand, some protesters threw objects and pyrotechnic items, locally known as "bombitas," which increased tension and noise in the area.
As a result of these acts, authorities confirmed the arrest of several people involved in the riots. Traffic in nearby areas was seriously affected, and many citizens had to seek alternative routes to avoid the conflict and the effects of the gas.
The atmosphere at Plaza 5 de Mayo has been unstable over the last few days due to the increase in social demonstrations. Organized groups have stated that their actions are a response to various political and social demands that have not yet been resolved by the government.
Finally, the police maintain a strong presence at the site to prevent new clashes and ensure the security of nearby public buildings. Protests are expected to continue in the coming hours, while the population remains attentive to the development of events.
