Farmers plan to protest at the Storting (Parliament of Norway) in Oslo 09:00-11:00 April 18. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand increased financial support from the state. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Demonstrators may drive tractors into the city for the demonstration; transport disruptions are likely on highways around Oslo in the morning and early afternoon. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the Storting. Allow additional time if driving into Oslo in the early morning or out of Oslo in the late morning and early afternoon. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
