Argentine Workers’ Central, Falklands/Malvinas veterans, opposition parties, human rights groups and self-organized individuals joined the demonstration.

Protesters' demands

Annulment of Supreme Court ruling and nationwide mobilizations to demand national sovereignty and reject government measures.
