Milongas in the provincias are the only places which are open for dancing.
I learned today that there were dances in Vicente Lopez on the weekend.
None of the milongas in the capital federal are allowed to open. I had
information from a friend that Lo de Celia would be open tonight, but
decided to confirm this with the organizer of the Monday night milonga. He
told me that he will be holding his milonga at another location in Vicente
Lopez since they are not permitted to open any dance within the capital
federal for another 12 days. The president extended the period of time to
15 days that all dance halls in the capital are to remain closed.

The club Republica Cromagnon where the fire was held had never been
inspected. There is an estimate that more than 4,000 entered the club to
hear a rock band where the capacity is 1,300. A fire broke out on Thursday
night at 10:30pm when someone set off some type of fireworks. The fire exit
was closed.

Según Ibarra, funcionarios del Gobierno porteño descubrieron hoy "una intimación contra la empresa que regenteaba el local de Bartolom=
