Overview

• Clashes erupted mid-afternoon when retirees and allied groups pushed past police cordons toward Plaza de Mayo, prompting officers to use crowd-control measures.
• The city police detained at least seven protesters and treated multiple injured marchers at on-site medical posts.
• Security forces sealed off key access routes to Congress, erecting barricades on major avenues and marking the most violent demonstrators with paint for later identification.
• Marchers decried President Javier Milei’s imminent veto of recently passed legislation that would raise the minimum pension from 70,000 to 110,000 pesos and reopen the pension moratorium.
• Retiree groups, unions and leftist parties are preparing intensified mobilizations if the August 4 veto deadline passes without concessions.
