Costa Rica: Teachers and students plan to march in San Jose from 09:00 June 20

Event

Multiple teacher and student unions have called for a protest march in San Jose June 20 to denounce the government's cuts to public education funding. Protesters plan to gather at Parque de la Merced from 09:00 before marching to Plaza de la Democracia near the Legislative Assembly. Thousands could participate in the action.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the gathering sites and march route. While the protest will probably pass peacefully, minor skirmishes between police and demonstrators remain possible.

Advice

Avoid the protest due to possible clashes. Allow additional time to reach destinations in central San Jose June 20; seek alternative routes to circumvent the impacted area.
