The crowd, who wanted to greet Maradona, entered the presidential palace Casa Rosada, where his body was taken for the funeral last night. The crowd, which was the first to cross the barriers in Piazza Maggio in front of Casa Rosada, entered the inner courtyard of the presidential palace. The situation at Casa Rosada was briefly alleviated with the intervention of the security forces with tear gas to those who entered the presidential palace. Due to the events, Maradona’s body was removed from the room it was in and moved to a different section. After the announcement that the funeral would be completed at the appointed time, a clash broke out between Maradona fans and the security forces, about a kilometer from the presidential building.

The police intervened with tear gas on the crowd, which threw hard objects. It was announced that there were injured and detained as a result of the conflict.

Although the authorities have announced that the ceremony which will take place between 06:00 and 16:00 has been extended until 19:00 and that a parade will be held for those who could not attend the Bella Vista cemetery where they will be buried Maradona’s funeral, the entrance to the presidential building was interrupted due to the events.

The clash between the crowd and the security forces continues on 9 July street in the city center.

After the death last night of the legendary Argentine footballer, the public took to the streets and started filling Piazza Maggio to attend Maradona’s funeral last night.
