Buenos Aires and La Plata suffered floods in April , resulting in more than 70 deaths . Mayor Mauricio Macri pointed out that the national government had prevented the city from taking out international loans , which would have been used for infrastructure improvements . A week later , Kirchner announced a proposed amendment of the Argentine judiciary . Three bills were controversial : the first proposed to limit injunctions against the state ; the second would include people selected in national elections on the body that appoints or removes judges ; the third would create a new court that would limit the number of cases heard by the Supreme Court . The opposition considered the bills an attempt to control the judiciary . The 2013 season of the investigative journalism program '' Periodismo para todos '' revealed an ongoing case of political corruption involving Nestor Kirchner , called " The Route of the K-Money " , which generated a huge political controversy . This led to a new '' cacerolazo '' on 18 April , known as the 18A
