Greece: Farmers to block E65 highway near Karditsa July 30
Farmers to stage protest blockade on E65 highway near Karditsa, Greece, at 09:00 July 30. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Farmers plan to conduct a protest blockade on the E65 (also known as A3) highway near Karditsa from 09:00 July 30. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce the perceived insufficient compensation allocated by the government for flood-related damage. It was not immediately clear how many people would participate in the protest or how long the action was planned to last.
Heightened security and transport disruptions are likely near the protest site; significant transport disruptions are likely on the E65. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or frustrated motorists cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Consider taking alternative routes to avoid the affected segment of the E65. Allow additional time for travel near the affected area. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from authorities.
