Greece: Unions to lead protest of judicial workers in Athens April 24
Striking judicial workers to protest in Athens, Greece, April 24. Increased security, localized disruptions likely.
The ADEDY and ODYE unions will lead a rally of striking judicial workers in Athens on April 24. The unions organized the protest over a bill that aims to introduce new regulations into the sector. Participants will gather in Syntagma Square from 11:30. Although attendance levels are unclear, union-led demonstrations can attract large crowds in Greece.
Authorities will almost certainly deploy additional police to monitor the gathering. Large crowds and related security measures could prompt localized disruptions, but widespread violence is not anticipated.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Syntagma Square. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
