Cyprus: Unionized workers to demonstrate in Nicosia Dec. 18
Unionized workers to protest at House of Representatives in Nicosia, Cyprus, from 15:30 Dec. 18. Heightened security likely.
Unionized workers affiliated with the Equality Pancypriot Union plan to protest at the House of Representatives in Nicosia from 15:30 Dec. 18. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce the proposed exclusion of certain public workers from accelerated salary growth plans in the 2024 state budget. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the House of Representatives. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the House of Representatives. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
