President Milei, who took office less than two weeks ago, has promised tough action against any groups that try to thwart his plans with disruptive protests.
The government said on Monday that people who blocked streets could lose their right to receive state benefits.
“It is a peaceful mobilisation,” said Eduardo Belliboni, who leads leftist protest group Polo Obrero, which first called the demonstration, in an interview with local radio.
“We do not want any type of confrontation. We do not want any type of clash.”
In a speech broadcast on radio and TV, President Milei detailed some of 300 measures, marking what he called only a first step towards reconstruction.
