In La Plata, municipal decisions regarding public spaces and recreational facilities have led to local protests. Workers at the Bosque de La Plata recreational games issued statements protesting Mayor Julio Alak’s decision to dismantle facilities and vacate the area, claiming the move was made without dialogue and threatens the livelihoods of 40 families.

Further tension arose following the renovation of Plaza España, which included the restoration of a historic monument after opposition from the Spanish community. Additionally, municipal authorities proceeded with the dismantling of a long-standing gastronomic stall in Parque Saavedra. The operator, Silvia Inés Bracamonte, threatened to chain herself to the site in protest. While the municipality maintains the concession had expired, legal representatives for the merchant claim a request for a judicial injunction extension is still pending.
