Textile workers to protest in central Madrid, Spain, during afternoon of Dec. 19. Localized transport, business disruptions possible.
Textile workers represented by Spain's largest labor organization, Comisiones Obreras (CCOO), plan to demonstrate in Madrid on Dec. 19. The purpose of the gathering is to protest working conditions at a major Spanish multinational clothing company. Participants will assemble at Plaza Espana in the city center starting at 12:00. It remains unclear how many participants the protest may draw or how long it will last.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security near Plaza Espana during the gathering out of an abundance of caution. Localized transport and business disruptions are possible.
Exercise caution if transiting Plaza Espana as the announced demonstration is taking place. Leave the area at the first sign of any security incident. Allow extra time to reach destinations near the protest location.
