Buenos Aires Faces Chaos Due to Power Outage

In the city of Buenos Aires, a chaotic blackout has led the authorities of the National Congress to take urgent measures. This exceptional situation has caused disruptions in various areas of the city due to the heatwave.

In response to the complex situation, it has been decided to suspend activities in some areas of the Congress, while in others, the possibility of remote work has been implemented. Neighborhoods like Monserrat, where the Legislative Power Palace and its dependencies are located, have experienced power outages throughout the day.

In the words of an executive in an interview with the Argentine News Agency: "Those who can work from home have been given home office, but operational or maintenance areas cannot do that." Throughout the morning and part of the afternoon, there have been intermittent power supply cuts, complicating administrative tasks and completely impeding maintenance activities.
