- Footage and eyewitness accounts show an officer pushing a protester using crutches, an incident that preceded wider shoving and escalations near the Congress.
- A retiree was removed by ambulance and others were treated on site, with images showing at least one person with a head wound during the dispersal.
- Media reported at least one detainee described as a therapeutic aide, while a later police account relayed by Agencia Noticias Argentinas said there were no arrests and no injuries to officers.
- The demonstration is part of weekly Wednesday mobilizations demanding higher pensions, a disability emergency, restoration of lapsed benefits, and access to free medicines, with some reports of objects thrown at police.
