Riot

Avenida de Mayo runs between the Casa Rosada and Congress. It’s a wide treelined avenue but virtually all the buildings are heavily shuttered. This does little to enhance the built enviromment.

However yesterday there was a riot for two hours which very clearly showed the need for shutters.

The mob smashed up this police car..


..and threw molotov cocktails.
