Argentina - Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, train station in Once: The argentinian labor party ("El Partido Obrero") organizes a blockade of ticket offices in the train station in Once. Background of this demonstration are the statistics of INDE, the national institute of statistics and data collection (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos) - the argentinian government is accused of falsifying and prettifying them what results in higher product prices but not higher salery. The demonstrators demand on re-establishing the salary as it was before military dictatorship. For two hours the demonstrators blocked the ticket offices and avoided the sale of tickets. They handed out flyers with the title "boleto protesta - protest ticket" and called on the passengers go by train without paying to proclaim their displeasure.
