March and Protest by the Partido Obrero and Partido Quebracho against the Argentine Government.
Yet more conflict over the retenciones… indirectly. A conflict between two more of the militant left-wing groups here in Buenos Aires and the police led to several injuries yesterday. As a result the two parties, the Partido Obrero and Quebracho staged a march from the Congreso to the Casa Rosada to condem the use of force by the police. Today’s event, July 8, 2008 passed without much incident as far as I could tell. It was still a trip to see protesters decked out in head scarves carrying batons. They were a minority compared to the amount of people who came. But, they were also a very good picture. Click HERE for the slide show.
This was quite something. Thanks for alerting me to this protest and for letting us tag along.
