Spain: Public sector workers plan to demonstrate in Madrid, June 22
Public sector workers' union to hold rally in Madrid, Spain, from 12:00 on June 22. Increased security, congestion likely.
Event
The labor union CSIF has called for public sector workers to protest outside Madrid's Finance Ministry from 12:00 on July 22. The protestors will call on the government to recover lost purchasing power, to eliminate discrimination, and to improve working conditions. Attendance levels are unclear, though it is likely that the rally will attract several hundreds of protesters.
While the action will likely remain peaceful, police will almost certainly deploy to monitor the gathering as a precaution. Associated security measures and crowds will likely prompt localized travel disruptions, especially in the adjacent "Puerto del Sol" metro, bus, and tram interchange.
Advice
Avoid all demonstrations as a precaution. Allow additional time to reach destinations; consider taking alternative routes to circumvent any related disruptions. Follow local security and travel advice.
