Chaos on the streets is the norm in the City of Buenos Aires and today is no exception. Since early morning, social organization Barrios de Pie (Neighborhoods on Their Feet) has set up several roadblocks, or piquetes, throughout the capital, demanding job opportunities and the Macri administration take measures to tackle poverty. “We demand [City of Buenos Aires Mayor] Horacio Rodríguez Larreta solve the city’s marked inequality,” said Barrios de Pie leader Daniel Menéndez. Barrios de Pie is a social organization that voices the demands of unemployed people on a national level. As an organization, it also provides community services such as food distributions through community bakeries and soup kitchens.
