Elderly welfare protests and advocacy

Overview

In Lomas de Zamora, Argentina, elderly residents and retirees have engaged in both community celebrations and political demonstrations. While some groups gathered to celebrate the International Day of Older Persons with cultural workshops and musical performances, others organized protests at Plaza Grigera. These demonstrators expressed concerns regarding national economic policies, specifically the loss of pension purchasing power and cuts to healthcare services resulting from medical professional strikes.

In Zamora, Spain, a citizen platform is protesting against the regional government of Castilla y León regarding the Los Tres Árboles elderly care residence. Protesters are demanding that the facility maintain its function as a public residence for the elderly rather than being kept open without a specific purpose. The Zamora Mayor has expressed support for the movement, suggesting the goal should be to integrate the facility’s capacity with the new Vista Alegre installation.
