received with protests
on Wednesday night in Salta.
The President traveled to participate in the events organized to commemorate the Bicentennial of the death of General

One of the protests resulted in
honkings and cacerolazos

The call on Twitter was scheduled for 23 this Wednesday, when Fernández was expected to arrive, who, however, surprised with an arrival hours before.

the convocation of the caravan came from a group of
gastronomic entrepreneurs
who were later joined by
private sectors and individuals
.
From

, on the other hand, they reported that messages were circulated throughout the day on WhatsApp and Facebook that said
"Alberto, you are NOT welcome to Salta"
and that banners from the celestial groups with the legend
"No to abortion"
were added in the street.

Another of the posters was saying
"Welcome to Argentina European president",
a critical reference to said Alberto Fernandez on recent Argentines came from boats.
"It is an honor for us to receive the President of the Nation on
his first visit to our province
to commemorate the Bicentennial of the Immortality of General Martín Miguel de Güemes," Sáenz wrote on Twitter along with the photo of Fernández's reception.

As reported by the Government of Salta, the ceremonies began at 11:30 p.m. with the traditional

, which takes place in front of the monument that honors the national hero and commemorates the vigil of his faithful gauchos during the ten-day agony of their leader in the Quebrada de la Horqueta.

Parchment and Chubut
On Tuesday, Alberto Fernández surprised by
canceling the trip he planned to make to Pergamino
, where he planned to lead the opening ceremony of the Fontezuela section of National Route 8.
There, as it had transpired, a group of rural producers organized a
protest
to demand the
closure of meat exports.
However, the government denied that Alberto F.'s decision to suspend his trip had anything to do with said protest.
"Join the caravan, take your claims to President Fernández," stated a flyer that circulated in the preview on WhatsApp.
"Defending our right to health, work, education and private property," he added in his slogan.

President was attacked during his presidential visit to Lago Puelo, Chubut,
and as a result of the struggles and stones, the truck carrying the president and his entourage was destroyed.
