Spain: Activists demonstrating in central Madrid as of late Aug. 7

Activists protesting at Plaza de Cibeles in Madrid, Spain, late Aug. 7. Heightened security, localized transport disruptions likely.

Warning

As of late Aug. 7, activists are protesting at the Plaza de Cibeles in Madrid to denounce alleged fraud in Venezuela's July 28 elections. Footage appears to show large crowds present at the gathering, and early reporting suggests there could be several thousand attendees.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or groups of rival activists cannot be ruled out.

Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance.
