Buenos Aires: Demonstrations

Demonstrations and marches are an everyday event in the city. There's always a "paro" (strike) by some group protesting about something on any given day, be it teachers, retirees, unions, you name it.

The two main places where people go make some noise are Congreso and Plaza de Mayo (where the Casa Rosada is, the equivalent to the White House).

Protests have become part of the population's human nature, and it's no surprise given how bad the country is doing. And it starts very young, even as early as middle school.
