This mobile Indymedia project will be in Buenos Aires for two weeks documenting the political and social process in Argentina, after the popular revolts of the 19 and 20 of December when hundreds of thousands of people took the streets of every major city in the country to protest against the current economic crisis, aggravated by the Structural Adjustment Programs imposed to the people of Argentina by the IMF and the World Bank. The Caravan is also taking active part in the project "Argentina Arde"; a counter information initiative that brings together different alternative media groups of Argentina.
