) A group of rural producers marched this Saturday (23) through the center of Buenos Aires, some of them in tractors, to protest against the policies of the Argentine government that they consider harmful to the agricultural sector. The caravan, made up of 04 tractors and hundreds of cars, motorcycles and others vehicles, advanced through the avenues of the north of the capital until reaching the iconic Plaza de Mayo, in front of Casa Rosada, headquarters of the Argentine Executive.
More than a thousand people gathered at the site to end the protest, which spread to other cities in the country, such as Córdoba, Tucumán and Rosário. The demonstration did not have the institutional support of the so-called Mesa de Enlace, formed by the four largest rural employers’ associations in Argentina, although it had the support of some regional agricultural organizations and sectors of the political opposition.
