St. Pierre and Miquelon: Unions to protest in Saint-Pierre March 23
Activists to protest at Square Joffre in Saint-Pierre, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, from 14:00 March 23. Disruptions likely.
Event
Labor activists, including members of the French Democratic Confederation of Labor (Confederation Francaise Democratique du Travail, CFDT), plan to protest in St. Pierre March 23. Participants will gather at Square Joffre in St. Pierre starting at 14:00. The purpose of the demonstration is to protest the recent pension system reform that increases the retirement age.
Demonstrators may also gather in other locations across the territory. Localized business and transport disruptions are likely during the gathering. While protests will probably remain peaceful, minor skirmishes between demonstrators and police cannot be ruled out.
Advice
Avoid all demonstrations as a precaution. Leave the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow extra time to reach destinations near rally venues. Heed the instructions of security personnel.
