Romania: Law enforcement officers to demonstrate in Bucharest May 8
Unionized law enforcement officers to protest at Victoria Palace in Bucharest, Romania, 10:00-13:00 May 8. Heightened security likely.
Unionized local police officers from across the country plan to protest at Victoria Palace on Victory Square (Piata Victoriei) in Bucharest from 10:00-13:00 May 8. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand increased payment for work conducted on weekends and public holidays. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and security personnel monitoring the demonstration cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Victoria Palace. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
