Buenos Aires, Argentina
The historic avenues of Buenos Aires once again became the stage for passionate civic expression as local pensioners and activists organized a demonstration in the heart of the city. Gathering on a grey, overcast afternoon, protesters occupied the crosswalks of Avenida Corrientes, one of the capital's most famous cultural and commercial arteries. Holding bold banners and waving red flags, the demonstrators drew the attention of passersby and brought local traffic to a halt.
