The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) in Argentina is organizing a massive mobilization scheduled for Wednesday at the Congress, where a contentious labor reform will be debated. The event is expected to lead to significant disruptions in traffic and public transportation as major unions have called for protests starting from noon, which will escalate into street blockades throughout the central areas of Buenos Aires. The government has prepared a security operation to manage the potential disturbances from this mobilization, indicating the high stakes of what is being discussed.

In response to the anticipated protests, the City Government has outlined a comprehensive security plan that includes the deployment of agents and police around key areas likely to be affected, specifically the intersections near major avenues including Uriburu, Pasco, and 9 de Julio. These areas are of particular concern given that they will serve as entry points for the protestors. The strategy from law enforcement aims not only to maintain order but also to ensure public safety given the number of people expected to participate in the mobilization.

Alongside municipal preparations, the national government has engaged multiple security forces, including the Federal Police, National Gendarmerie, and naval prefecture. The synergy between local and national law enforcement highlights the seriousness with which the Argentine government is approaching these protests against potentially divisive labor reforms. As public sentiment towards such reforms often plays a significant role in political dynamics, the outcomes of this march may affect both immediate labor policies and broader public trust in governmental institutions.
