Grabois Arrested After Protest at Former Perón Institute

On Saturday, June 7th, 2025, social leader Juan Grabois was arrested in Recoleta, Buenos Aires, following a protest at the former Juan Domingo Perón Institute. The institute's closure by the national government sparked the demonstration, which involved Grabois and his supporters occupying the building. Eyewitnesses reported pushing and shouting during the police intervention. Grabois himself took to social media earlier that day, stating that the closure was an "illegal act by the government of Javier Milei." Following his arrest, Grabois reportedly declared, "Meteme preso Milei, pero la bandera argentina no me la sacás" ("Jail me, Milei, but you won't take the Argentine flag from me.") The incident highlights growing tensions surrounding recent government decisions.
