Argentine government spokesman Manuel Adorni said this Thursday (14) that the Minister of Security Patrícia Bullrich would announce a package of strict sanctions against protesters blocking the country's roads.
“Minister Patrícia Bullrich will announce the 'Protocol for the Maintenance of Public Order' in a press conference. I expect that it will include strict sanctions for everyone who works to prevent the free movement of Argentines, and that affects those who block, those who transport, who organizes and who finances,” he said.
Public demonstrations have become widespread among the Argentine population, especially in recent years. Popular uprisings are often concentrated in central Buenos Aires and serve as an indication to the government of the impact of its plans on society.
One of the main rebel groups is Polo Obrero made up of workers, unemployed and lowincome people who are even organizing a demonstration across the country on December 20th.
“The organizations that are fighting are under severe attack by the government and the judicial system because we are a reference in the fight against hunger, adaptation and unemployment throughout the country,” said a statement from Polo Obrero.
The members of the group founded their own party and criticize Peronist, Kirchnerist and mass governments.
