Argentina: Buenos Aires province: Anticipate disruption, avoid demonstrations during 7-8 April union strike

Members in Buenos Aires province on 7-8 April should anticipate travel disruption during a 48-hour strike called by the Association of State Employees (ATE) to protest recent government lay-offs. Demonstrations will begin at 12.00 (local time); the main rally will start on Autopista Pablo Riccheri (see map) and proceed to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE), where a sit-in protest will be held. Related demonstrations are possible in other urban centres, including the nearby capital Buenos Aires, on both days of the strike.

Travel Advice

  *   Avoid all demonstrations as a routine security precaution. Consult with local contacts for details of planned protests in your area. Gatherings are likely to take place in the vicinity of main plazas and key government buildings.
  *   If scheduled to pass through an affected area, reconfirm the status of routes before setting out. Plan alternative routes avoiding protest-affected areas and allow additional time for travel to minimise inconvenience.
  *   Do not attempt to cross any roadblocks as this may elicit a hostile response from protesters. If you come across one, turn around and seek an alternative route to your destination.
  *   Monitor our travel security alerts on Argentina for further developments.
