France: Political activists to protest in central Nice Aug. 27
Political activists plan to protest at Garibaldi Square in Nice, France, 18:00 Aug. 27; increased security, transport disruptions likely.
Political activists affiliated with several political organizations supporting the New Popular Front plan to protest at Garibaldi Square, Nice, from 18:00 on Aug. 27. The demonstration will denounce France's President Macron's reluctance to nominate the designated New Popular Front's candidate, Lucie Castets, as prime minister. Several hundred people from affiliated organizations are likely to attend.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the gathering. Localized road travel and transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Low-level confrontations cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
