Spain: Activists to demonstrate in Oviedo from 19:00 May 31
Education activists to march in central Oviedo from 19:00 May 31. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Education activists plan to hold a protest march in central Oviedo from 19:00 on May 31 to demand improved financing for public education and reduced teaching hours. Participants will depart from Oviedo/Uvieu Station on Calle Uria before marching through the city center. While organizers did not indicate the march's endpoint, they may march to the Department of Education (Consejeria de Educacion). It is unclear how many participants will attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the march site. Railway disruptions are possible at Oviedo/Uvieu Station. Participants may rally at the Department of Education (Consejeria de Educacion) building on Plaza de Espana. Though unlikely, 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 in central Oviedo or via Oviedo/Uvieu Station. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
