Pensioners' groups plan to stage protest in Ethnikis Antistaseos Square, Athens, Greece, from 10:30 Feb. 13. Localized disruptions likely.
Activists representing "Cooperating Pension Organizations" plan to demonstrate in Ethnikis Antistaseos Square in Athens from 10:30 Feb. 13. Multiple pensioners' groups will gather to denounce government pension reforms and to call for increased payments. Pensioners' groups stage protests in Athens at regular intervals and events typicaly attract up to 10,000 participants.
Authorities will deploy additional security services to police the protest. Large crowds and associated security measures, including likely road closures and movement restrictions, will prompt localized business and transport disruptions in the surrounding area. The protest will likely pass without significant incident.
Avoid the protest as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Heed instructions from security services. Check for disruptions before beginning journeys and allow extra time for travel in the affected area.
