La Salada Closure Fuels Second Day of Tensions at Puente La Noria

Puente La Noria Tensions Rise as La Salada Vendors Stage Second Day of Protest Puente La Noria, Argentina – Tensions escalated for a second day at Puente La Noria as vendors from the closed La Salada market continued their protest. The closure, now in its fifteenth day, has left hundreds of vendors without income, leading to a significant demonstration that blocked the bridge. A large police presence was visible throughout the day, maintaining order and monitoring the situation. "We've been shut down for almost two weeks," said one vendor, "and we have no idea when we'll be able to work again. We're just trying to feed our families." The vendors are considering various options, including filing a lawsuit or taking further action to pressure the authorities to reopen the market. The video footage shows the large crowd gathered at Puente La Noria, the police presence, and the blocked roadway. The reporter's interviews highlight the desperation and uncertainty felt by the vendors. The situation remains fluid, with no immediate resolution in sight, but the vendors' determination to fight for their livelihoods is clear. The authorities have yet to release a statement regarding the ongoing protest and the vendors' demands. The situation is expected to remain a focus of local news coverage in the coming days.
