"They were vultures, not penguins" , said the flag that someone also illustrated with caricatures of that greedy bird, under which hundreds stopped to protest this afternoon at the monument to General San Martín, on the corner of Luro and Miter Avenue, natural seat of both celebrations and the fights that go through the people of Mar del Plata.
It was not the only place since the protesters folded from Mar del Plata to the banner "for freedom and justice" that was called by social networks and was replicated in different cities of the country.
Here, in addition to the center, the demonstrations took place in different sectors of the coast , mainly in front of the buildings of the Casino Central and the Hotel Provincial, where there were at least ten blocks of cars adding to their horns. In addition to Argentine flags, many beat saucepans.
Just as it was convened, the images of the complaint, and the points of complaint to the government of Alberto Fernández, were soon disseminated on the networks. The downtown demonstration mutated into a noisy march that traveled along Luro Avenue at a human pace towards the coast.
"Let's defend the republic"; "Mafia or republic", could be read on some posters. The slogans: the defense of institutions and individual liberties, freedom of the press and the rejection of house arrest that was granted in the last hours to the Santa Cruz businessman Lázaro Báez.
