Romania: Disability rights groups plan to protest in central Bucharest Dec. 4
Disability rights groups plan to protest at the Parliament in Bucharest, Romania, from 10:00 Dec. 4. Localized disruptions likely.
The National Disability Council (CNDR) and other disability rights groups plan to protest in central Bucharest, Dec. 4. Attendees will gather at 10:00 in Izvor Park opposite the Parliament. The demonstration will denounce the government's pension reforms, which campaigners claim will discriminate against disabled workers. The event is scheduled to last until 14:00.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Parliament. The demonstration will likely be peaceful.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time to reach destinations in central Bucharest Dec. 4. Strictly heed instructions from law enforcement officers.
