Highlights: Demonstrators wanted to put a bull on the Obelisk to protest the countryside. The statue of the bull was removed by the City Police. The event was to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the presidency of Cristina Kirchner. The service of the subway to the Plaza de Mayo was closed to traffic due to the demonstration. The protest was called to highlight the poor state of the country's agricultural sector and the lack of representation of the poor in Congress. The demonstration was to be followed by a garbage collection operation in the area.


They sought to draw attention to May 25. They ask for more agricultural representatives in Congress.


In the previous act of Cristina Kirchner, less than 10 blocks from the Plaza de Mayo, a group of agricultural producers tried to attract attention by locating a statue of a bull in the middle of the Obelisk with the legend "Let's defend what is ours, let's defend the countryside" and was kidnapped by the City Police, who took it in a truck.

In the framework of the celebration of May 25, people grouped in the organization "Abrazarte Argentina" demonstrated for the drought in front of the Obelisk with the statue of a life-size black bull.

The demonstrators had been summoned by social networks and in addition to claiming the economic situation of the sector, they ask for representation of the countryside in Congress.

They put a bull on the Obelisk to protest the countryside and it was kidnapped.

However, moments after placing the bull meters from the Obelisk, the statue of the bull was removed by members of the City Police, who, according to the testimony of agricultural producers, did not provide an explanation for the removal of the statue.

"I don't have a personal goal and I'm not going to be a candidate for anything, but I feel the choice is to stay in the country and fight. It is what we do every day: the countryside does not have the chance to leave, it is and will be Argentine soil forever, "said Marcos Villamil, a worker in the sector and one of the organizers of the protest.

Villamil toured the country on horseback for six months and said he had the opportunity to "see the critical situation that exists in every part of Argentina." According to his testimony, he decided to "organize a movement that provokes politics to have a genuine interest in developing the potential of rurality."

The subway A does not reach Plaza de Mayo and the accesses are closed to traffic

The service of the subway line A does not arrive this noon at the Plaza de Mayo station, while the accesses to that neuralgic point and the adjacent streets remained closed to traffic due to the act that in just over three hours Cristina Kirchner will lead to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the arrival to the presidency of Néstor Kirchner.

According to the company Emova, concessionaire of the Buenos Aires subway network, the Line A service was provided between Peru and San Pedrito stations "for security operations on public roads."

In turn, the group La Cámpora announced that it will carry out a garbage cleaning and recycling operation in Plaza de Mayo before, during and after the act that will be led this afternoon by the vice president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, in Plaza de Mayo to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the presidential assumption of Néstor Kirchner.

As reported by the political organization, "there will be two fixed points with workers of the cooperatives and their bags" designed for people "to come to leave the materials" that will later be taken to their plants for treatment.

One of the points destined for this purpose will be at the intersection of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Bolívar streets and another in Hipólito Yrigoyen and Defensa.
