Argentina urges Buenos Aires residents to leave city for G20

Argentina’s capital city is slated to go into total security shutdown for the two-day G20 summit starting Friday.

“We recommend you use the long weekend to leave,” said the country's security minister, Patricia Bullrich. “Leave on Thursday because the city’s going to get very complicated.”

Friday has been declared a public holiday, when all trains, subways and public transport will be shut down.

The city is bracing for some 33 anti-G20 protests as heads of states of the world's 20 biggest economies converge on Buenos Aires.
