Buenos Aires and La Plata suffered floods in April , with more than 70 deaths . Mayor Mauricio Macri pointed that the national government prevents the city from taking international loans , which did not allow for infrastructure improvements . A week later , Kirchner announced an amendment of the Argentine judiciary .

Both things led to a huge '' cacerolazo '' on 18 April , known as the 18A
