Spain: Vehicular protest to be held in Murcia on September 11
Hospitality workers to stage vehicular protest in Murcia on September 11 against COVID-19 restrictions; localized disruptions likely
Event
The Murcia Regional Federation of Hospitality and Tourism Business Owners (Hostemur) organization has announced plans to hold a vehicular protest in central Murcia on Friday, September 11, calling for the easing of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) restrictions on the sector. Hundreds of vehicles are expected to join the go-slow convoy, beginning at the FICA Murcia site in the southeast of the city at around 08:30 (local time) before traveling to the Ministry of Health via Avenida Primero de Mayo, Ronda Norte, Plaza Circular, Gran Vía, Avenida Teniente Flomesta, Avenida Jorge Palacios, Avenida de la Fama, and Ronda de Levante.
The protest is likely to cause significant traffic disruption in areas along the route and may prompt an increased police presence, particularly around the Ministry of Health.
Advice
Those in Murcia are advised to monitor local media sources for further updates on the demonstration and should plan alternative routes to avoid the protest if traveling in the city on Friday.
