It all started on Saturday, when the Municipality of Córdoba decided to raise the LGBTIQ + flag on the mast located in the El Dante area, as a way to adhere to Pride Day that is commemorated this Sunday.

Pushes, fights, struggles with the Police, insults and even a marble plaque placed by the commune that was destroyed in the midst of the chaos. That was the picture after 5pm and everything seemed to be heading for a long confrontation.
Finally, a channel of dialogue was opened between the parties in conflict and an agreement was reached: the LGBTIQ flag will remain in that place where it was placed until midnight on Sunday.
On Monday, from 8.30 am, the Argentine flag that was until before the initiative of the Municipality will be raised.
