A serious incident occurred on Monday in Mar del Plata during the massive mobilization for the National Day of Memory, Truth and Justice, which brought together about 100,000 people in the city center. According to witnesses, the lamppost did not collapse due to pressure from the protesters, but because its base was rotten. During the event, a street lighting post broke off and fell on two women, who had to be urgently assisted and taken to a private hospital. The incident occurred around 5 PM at the intersection of Buenos Aires and Bolivar, in the heart of Mar del Plata, in an area crowded with protesters participating in the march on the 50th anniversary of the military coup. According to witnesses, the structure gave way for reasons that have not yet been determined, causing moments of tension and concern among those present. The victims, aged 26 and 30, were part of the demonstration when they were struck by the post.
