Greece: Activists plan to conduct protest march in Athens April 9
Retirement activists to march from National Resistance Square to Ministry of Labor and Social Security in Athens, Greece, 10:30 April 9.
Retirement activists plan to gather at National Resistance Square (Plateia Ethkikis Antistasis, formerly Kotzia Square) at 10:30 April 9 before marching to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on Stadiou Street. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand pension increases. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely along the march route. 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 National Resistance Square or the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
