Uruguay: Demonstrators to gather in Montevideo November 26

Event

Protesters have been called to gather outside the Ministry of Housing and Territorial Planning in Montevideo on Thursday, November 26. The Uruguayan Federation of Mutual Aid Housing Cooperatives (FUCVAM) social movement has reportedly called for the demonstration against various social grievances. Participants are expected to gather from 15:00 (local time) along Avenida 25 de Mayo and march to Plaza Libertad/Plaza de Cagancha at 18:00.

It is possible that additional labor unions may join the action and so the rally is likely to be well-attended. Localized disruptions and a heightened security presence should therefore be anticipated in the vicinity of the march and rally.

Advice

Those in Montevideo are advised to monitor developments, avoid all gatherings and protests as a precaution, anticipate associated disruptions, and heed all instructions issued by local authorities.
