In Buenos Aires, Argentina, an incident occurred during a Senate session on the Glacier Law, where police used force against a cameraman from A24. According to official sources, at least two Federal Police chiefs may face disciplinary action along with subordinates being investigated for aggression towards a journalist. A source stated: "There was an eviction order, but sometimes bosses operate with absolute disorder and even a certain incapacity for these types of issues." They added: "When you order the eviction of a place, you have to determine how it is to be done. In this case, it was through dialogue and waiting for the cameramen and reporters to clear the area little by little." The source also noted: "Here, since they only gave the eviction order, the police acted as if they were repressing protesters when applying the anti-picket protocol. That is why sanctions are being considered against both the one who gave that incomplete order and other chiefs who were there." They added, "There was no concrete directive and it all turned into chaos. Orders must be clear and specific." Meanwhile, the Federal Police referred to the events that occurred this Thursday and stated: "In view of the facts of public knowledge that occurred today in the scope of the Congress, 12 Greenpeace activists who broke into the building were detained and subsequently transferred to a parking lot located on Hipólito Yrigoyen street." In these circumstances, "a security perimeter was established to prevent the entry or exit of people to the sector where the detainees were." "Sanctions are coming from within. This cannot happen anymore," the source added.
