On the second day of debate on the omnibus law in Deputies, the protests of the previous day in front of the National Congress were repeated.
There the left summoned its militants and some of its main figures to protest against the Bases Law promoted by Javier Milei and which is being discussed in the lower house.
There were moments of tension and at least one detainee and one injured were recorded.
The detainee is a
25-year-old man
, with no criminal record.
He was transferred to Neighborhood Police Station 1A.
Meanwhile, a man arrived at the square after 6:00 p.m., with a
cut wound in his head.
After receiving initial attention at the scene, the SAME picked him up to take him to a medical center.
There were conflicting versions about his condition.
Some protesters indicated that he was hit with a police officer's shield.
However, witnesses claimed that he suffered an assault near Congress and arrived injured at the square to be treated.
The left column marched along Callao Avenue.
On the first line were Gabriel Solano, Vanina Biasi and Néstor Pitrola, as well as Eduardo Belliboni, the Polo Obrero picketer leader who ended up lying on the ground in Wednesday's protests and who accused gendarmes of kicking him with their boots.
The tension was experienced from the beginning, as a remnant of the escalation of violence with which the demonstration ended on Wednesday, which included attacks against legislator Ramiro Marra and against libertarian militants, in addition to fights between the federal security forces and the protesters.

At 5:30 p.m., the atmosphere became very tense.
There were clashes between the Police and the protesters.
Even the Buenos Aires security force
took flags of the MST
, one of the organizations present at the march.
"They acted like a gang, it's not the Police. Stealing the flags is a gang. They didn't do this or, if they did, they didn't do it so ostentatiously. It's a provocation," said Gabriel Solano, a Buenos Aires legislator.
The arrival of him and other leftist leaders tempered the mood.
There was another striking presence: Emilio Pérsico, from the Evita Movement and former official of the Ministry of Social Development during the government of Alberto Fernández.
In addition, another column of protests arrived at Congress, which had gathered in front of the Casa de Mendoza and which the City Police directed towards the square to prevent them from blocking the street.
Until 6:30 p.m. there were no traffic cuts and the groups of protesters were cornered in the square and some bus docks.
There was even a note of color: the influencer Milky Dolly walked around with a sign against Milei ("Dump Him", the inscription, and a photo of the libertarian).
She had already signed up for other calls against the President, including the CGT march on January 25.

The Buenos Aires force thus behaved in line with Patricia Bullrich's anti-picketing protocol.
"It is the order of the head of government: we only cut traffic when we believe that due to the number of people it should be cut in a certain place and at a certain time," explained Waldo Wolff, Minister of Security of Buenos Aires.
The Congress building is fenced.
The arrival of militants from UTEP and the Frente Patria Grande, linked to Juan Grabois, was also expected this afternoon.
"They are not going to be able to starve the people with clubs. Today everyone is in Congress to stop the Law and the DNU, to peacefully defend the social rule of law in Argentina. See you at 6:00 p.m. in Hipólito Yrigoyen and Solís. The country is not for sale “said the social leader.
For his part, Wolff assured that the security strategy maintains the "unified command", with joint tasks of the City Police - in a second ring - and eventual presence of the federal forces, Federal Police, Gendarmerie and Prefecture, in the vicinity. congressional.
