Spain: Activists to stage protest march in Madrid March 21
Protesters to march in Carabanchel neighborhood of Madrid, Spain, from 18:30 March 21. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to stage a protest march in the Carabanchel neighborhood of Madrid from 18:30 March 21. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce alleged understaffing of medical facilities. Participants will gather at Health Center Abrantes on Avenida de Abrantes before marching to Plaza de Oporto. Dozens of people previously participated in a related demonstration; a similar number may attend the March 21 protest.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely along the march route. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the demonstration as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling in the Carabanchel neighborhood in the evening hours. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
