From the esplanade of the University to the Plaza Cagancha, a crowd mobilized in rejection of the proposal for constitutional “reform” carried out by the promoters of the “Living Without Fear” campaign. This constitutional reform, promoted by the senator of the National Party Jorge Larrañaga, and other sectors of the right, seeks the use of military and the Armed Forces in “internal security” through a referendum that will be voted on Sunday, during the Presidential election day.
