Norma Plá
Argentine activist / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norma Beatriz Guimil de Plá (Buenos Aires, 7 September 1932-Temperley, 18 June 1996) better known as Norma Plá, was an Argentinian activist who demanded an increase in pensions for retirees, and led various marches for the rights of older people in Argentina. In 1991, her movement of retirees began the practice of blocking the strategic Rivadavia Avenue in Buenos Aires every Wednesday, in front of the Congreso de la Nación, becoming the first in Argentine history to systematically block streets as a form of protest, anticipating the piquetero movement.
