Very serious episodes
After the announcement by the Argentine government that the popular pilgrimage to the body of the great Argentine ace will last until 7:00 p.m. (local time) due to the large crowd, very serious episodes began.
See live:
According to the online edition of the daily Clarín, hundreds of people jumped over the fences to get to the government building faster, while the police tried to keep them away using tear gas and plastic bullets.

The events quickly spread to the surrounding streets, with many “outbreaks” of tension and stoning of people with the police, while at the same time (as reported by “Clarín”) he removed – for security reasons – from the chapel of Casa Rosada, the coffin with Maradona’s body.
