Greece: Activists to demonstrate in Volos Sept. 5

Activists to protest at Agiou Nikolaou Square in Volos, Greece, from 19:00 Sept. 5. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.

Informational

Activists affiliated with the Federation of Agricultural Associations of Magnesia plan to protest at Agiou Nikolaou Square in Volos from 19:00 on Sept. 5. The purpose of the demonstration is to mark the one-year anniversary of severe flooding in the area and demand related compensation, infrastructure repairs, and the installation of anti-flooding projects. It was not immediately clear how many people would participate in the protest.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. 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 near the protest site. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
