Moldova: Transport operators to strike nationwide Feb. 27-29

Minibus taxi drivers affiliated with the Association of Motor Transport Operators (APOTA) plan to strike nationwide Feb. 27-29 to denounce amendments to the Road Transport Code. Organizers assert the labor action will disrupt district and inter-district routes nationwide. While APOTA officials did not announce any plans for associated protests, demonstrations are possible in urban centers nationwide.

Transport disruptions are almost certain to occur nationwide on Feb. 27-29. Authorities may deploy increased security to monitor any protest that materializes. Increased demand for alternative methods of transportation is possible during the labor action.
