Hungary: Activists to conduct protest march in Debrecen March 14
Activists to hold protest march in central Debrecen, Hungary, from 15:30-18:00 March 14. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to hold a protest march in central Debrecen from 15:30-18:00 on March 14. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce the alleged improper use of state pardons. Participants will gather at Kossuth Square at 15:30 before marching to University Square (Egyetem Ter) at 16:00, where speeches are planned from 17:00; the demonstration is scheduled to end at 18:00. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the demonstration site. Though unlikely, confrontations between demonstrators, law enforcement officers, or frustrated motorists cannot be ruled out. Service disruptions at Kossuth Square Station cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected areas as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling in central Debrecen in the afternoon or early evening. Allow additional time if traveling via Kossuth Square Station during demonstration hours. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
