Italy: Vehicle-for-hire drivers to demonstrate in Rome Feb. 29
Vehicle-for-hire drivers to rally at Piazzale di Porta Pia in Rome, Italy, 14:00 Feb. 29; increased security, transport disruptions likely.
Vehicle-for-hire drivers (Noleggi con Conducenti, NCCs) plan to protest at Piazzale di Porta Pia in Rome from 14:00 Feb. 29. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce proposed government reforms that would allegedly privilege taxi drivers at the expense of NCCs. The number of people that would participate in the demonstration was not immediately clear.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Piazzale di Porta Pia. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
