Violence in La Plata: 22 Arrested After City Hall Fire
A protest by worker cooperatives outside the Municipality of La Plata escalated into violent incidents on June 26, 2026. Protesters set tires on fire and smashed windows, resulting in 19 arrests and 5 minor injuries to police officers. The unrest was triggered by the municipality's decision to open urban maintenance services to public tender, replacing direct contracts held by the cooperatives since 2011.
