Overview
- In La Plata, despite Provincial Law 15.406 and a local ordinance banning sonorous pyrotechnics, residents reported hours of explosions and a San Carlos dispute escalated into violence.
- Animal rescuers cited widespread animal distress and increased street stalls, while an environmental NGO reported illegal sidewalk sales in Ensenada and Berisso.
- In San José de Metán, officials said Christmas passed without burn injuries and infractions were issued, though controls remain difficult due to informal and online sales.
- Animal‑rights advocates in Tijuana said authorities produced no decisive results over Christmas, called for stronger operations, and urged effective 911 responses on December 31.
- Local campaigns continue to promote luminescent fireworks only, yet authorities and advocates warn that enforcement gaps persist as the holiday peak approaches.
