Mexico: Activists to stage protest march in downtown Mexico City from 16:00 Feb. 29
Activists to march in central Mexico City, Mexico, 16:00 Feb. 29; increased security, localized transport and business disruptions likely.
Activists affiliated with the National Assembly of Electrical Energy Users (Asamblea Nacional de Usuarios de Energia Electrica, ANUEE) plan to march from the Federal Electricity Commission building on Avenida Paseo de la Reforma to the Ministry of the Interior building on Calle Abraham Gonzalez in Mexico City starting at 16:00 Feb. 29. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand debt cancellation, among other concessions. Nearly 500 people will reportedly participate in the protest.
Although the action will probably remain largely peaceful, authorities will likely maintain an increased security presence near the protest as a precaution. Transport and business disruptions are likely along the march route for the duration of the demonstration.
Avoid the demonstration as a precaution. Seek alternative routes to circumvent the protest march and any related disruptions. Allow additional time to reach destinations if operating near the impacted area. Heed the instructions of authorities.
