Romania: Unionized environmental agency workers to demonstrate in Bucharest May 23
Unionized environmental agency workers to protest at Victory Square in Bucharest, Romania, from 13:30 May 23; heightened security likely.
Unionized environmental agency workers plan to protest at Victory Square (Piata Victoriei) in Bucharest from 13:30 May 23. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce alleged salary inequities. The number of people that would participate in the demonstration was not immediately clear.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions will likely be in the vicinity of the protest site during the demonstration. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Victory Square in the afternoon. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
