Following a general strike called by the CGT against the labor reform, residents of several Buenos Aires neighborhoods held nighttime pot-banging protests, while Fate factory workers demonstrated against its permanent closure. Incidents at Congress resulted in injuries, and police intervened in highway blockades. The government issued mandatory conciliation in the Fate case, but the company clarified it will not resume operations soon.
