STORYLINE:
Clashes broke out on Wednesday in Buenos Aires during a street protest by retirees in front of Congress against austerity policies.
Fans of several soccer clubs decided to participate for the first time in the weekly protest by the pensioners.
In an unprecedented event, fans of Boca Juniors, River Plate and other first and second division teams joined the group of retirees who protest every week in downtown Buenos Aires against cuts in pensions and retirement benefits.
Fans were called to “defend” the senior citizens after police last week dispersed them with tear gas and baton blows when they interrupted the traffic in front of the Parliament.
Their actions were allegedly in violation of a new code of conduct for demonstrations imposed by President Javier Milei shortly after he took office.
