Los piqueteros en Plaza de Congresso

It seems that every week, there is some kind of protest or strike going on here in Bs.As. My Spanish lessons are in Plaza de Congresso and whenever there is some sort of politically charged commotion, it tends to start here. I have a front-seat view of the place and snapped these pictures last week during another protest. It’s such a normal occurrence here that no one really takes notice.  Usually, there are drums and chants and a whole lot of traffic (in an already congested city).  The political issues here run deep and I won’t attempt to comment.  It suffices to say that everyone has an opinion – and I guess some are more vocal about theirs than others.
