After last Thursday's massive cacerolazo against the prisoners' home prison in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, a noise against some of the government's measures was heard again tonight.

The demonstration began at 8:00 pm with various slogans: "Stop overpricing," "Stop governing by DNU" and others that were repeated, such as the release of detainees.

In neighborhoods such as Belgrano, Palermo and Villa Urquiza the sound of saucepans was heard more strongly. In others, such as Parque Patricios, it was milder and included fights between neighbors who reject criticism of Alberto Fernández : "Keep the saucepans," one woman yelled.

The march was fired mainly on social networks, with Twitter as the main sector, and also on WhatsApp. Although no one was awarded the intellectual flag of the call.

Some asked to go out to the corners of each neighborhood, with a mask and social distance "to recover the streets", others believed that it was better to complain from the windows and balconies.

During the week, controversy was generated when a prosecutor in Rosario opened a criminal case considering it a "totally illegal act" and notified the police to intervene if they saw people on the street with that intention.

Those in charge of the subject understand that the dissemination of photomontages accompanied by slogans such as "We return to the streets" threaten measures to prevent the spread of the disease.

"It is a true act of irresponsibility and constitutes a flagrant crime. This has to be made very clear ," said Gustavo Ponce Asahad, prosecutor in charge of the investigation, when referring to the situation.

The noise was made in the midst of versions that speak of a relaxation of the quarantine, as it has been done until now. With the possibility of a reopening of almost all the shops and even the chance of recreational exits controlled by schedules.
