The march has brought together various social movements as President Macri's administration prepares to celebrate its first year in office.

Argentina’s human rights activists Mothers of Plaza de Mayo continued to participate Friday in the 24-hour March of Resistance that began on Thursday in the center of Buenos Aires to protest the government of President Mauricio Macri and its neoliberal measures in the South American country.

The march ended at 7 p.m. local time, as hundreds of supporters joined the 36th march, also remembering the 30,000 people disappeared and killed during the country's dictatorship.

Nora Cortiñas, from the organization, said they have “thirty thousand reasons to continue resistance. Every Thursday over the past 36 years were of resistance and we will continue to do so.”
