Unionized healthcare workers conduct protest march in Toluca, Mexico State, Mexico, June 10; localized traffic disruptions reported.
Several hundred unionized healthcare workers have launched a protest march in Toluca, Mexico State, June 10. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand that medical facilities in Mexico State receive more medical supplies. March participants reportedly gathered at Monumento a La Bandera before proceeding toward the Government Palace of the State of Mexico (Palacio de Gobierno del Estado de Mexico) via Avenida Miguel Hidalgo. Localized traffic disruptions have been reported in connection with the march.
Authorities will likely deploy a heightened security presence to monitor the demonstration. Localized transport and business disruptions will likely affect areas that are subject to protest activity. Clashes between demonstrators and police cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest march as a precaution. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent the affected area and any protest-related disruptions. Allow additional time to reach destinations in central Toluca. Adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.
