“There is no possible coexistence”: the response of the iconic Buenos Aires bookstore to the expropriation project for the construction of subway line F

The Buenos Aires bookstore and music shop Zivals has formally rejected a proposal for a shared space with the future Line F subway station at the intersection of Callao and Corrientes. The establishment stated that any potential closure, relocation, or reduction of its physical footprint is incompatible with its continued operations.

This response follows a project proposal that sought to integrate the business into the infrastructure plans for the new transit line. The bookstore maintains that there is no possibility of coexistence between the subway construction project and the store's current business model.
