Portugal: Journalists to demonstrate in Lisbon March 14
Journalists to protest at Praca Luis de Camoes in Lisbon, Portugal, from 18:00. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Journalists and related activists plan to protest at Praca Luis de Camoes (Largo Camoes) in Lisbon from 18:00 March 14. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand salary increases, supplementary payments for work outside working hours, and increased night and holiday payments. The demonstration coincides with a nationwide journalists' strike. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the demonstration site. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Largo Camoes. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
