Neighbors and merchants in the Congress area say that garbage containers are used as bathrooms every time there are protests. They say everything was made worse by the heat during this week's demonstrations against the omnibus law.
The intense heat wave increases the odors and dirt that remain on sidewalks and containers. In 2018, Law 6,107 was passed, which requires the Buenos Aires Government to build public bathrooms in green spaces of more than 3 hectares. However, the norm was not regulated and therefore not enforced. When asked by Clarín, sources from the Government said that the construction of public bathrooms is not planned for the moment.
