staff of the city police executed a court order to move a group of protesters from Villa Lugano who were blocking the lanes of the Dellepiane Highway. It is about a group of neighbors who have been without electricity for more than two days and in some cases without water, some of whom responded with stones before the advanced police.
Everything happened minutes before 11 in the morning at the height of Climbing, when a group of protesters opposed the opening of transit carried out by the troops. Many ran to the margins but others responded aggressively throwing stones at the police cordon.
With the trace released, the troops formed another cordon on the sides of the highway to prevent the group of protesters from access the lanes again and the situation is further complicated. While that was happening, the transit officers released vehicle access to the area to resume normal circulation.
The residents who are present there complain against the successive power cuts that have deteriorated the area for more than two days. This caused the circulation of that busy road to be interrupted for several hours since yesterday, Tuesday, February 14, which is not queues and long delays in that area of the City of Buenos Aires.
Almost a dozen police mobiles approached the place to try to control the situation and release the trafficbut that will continue even more anger among those who spend their days without electricity and also without water.

“Four days without light. It is very difficult to carry water to the upper floors, where there are people with high blood pressure, old people. The cuts are programmed, here many people lost a lot of food, it is not the first time it has happened. They came to fix water and they broke a main pipe,” he told C5N one of the protesters.
The anger of the neighbors began to increase in the last hours due to the lack of response from the distribution companies and the authorities of the energy sector. During the morning there were even moments of strong tension when tried to attack several journalists who worked in the placealthough fortunately the situation did not escalate.
After the liberation of the highway, the demonstrators ran towards the collector area. Police operations remain there while the electricity supply continues without being restored, people in the place report.
