About 22,000 police and security agents will guard leaders from the Group of 20 industrialized and emerging nations during the two-day meeting that starts Friday.
Argentine authorities said that Buenos Aires will be an armored city when world leaders arrive for this week’s G-20 summit.
But security failures that marred a soccer championship and deeper unrest over an economic austerity program are now raising concerns about the country’s ability to ensure safety.
Even with beefed up security, however, the Argentine government will inevitably be facing demonstrations that could potentially draw thousands of activists, some of whom might be coming from other parts of the world.
Anti-capitalist groups have announced that they will stage protests under the slogan “Get Out G-20, Get Out IMF,” while messages posted on social media are demanding the ouster of US president Donald Trump and other leaders, such as Brazil’s far-right President-elect Jair Bolsonaro. 101/201
