Hungary: Activists to demonstrate in Budapest, Sept. 20
Activists to protest at Blaha Lujza Ter in Budapest, Hungary, from 17:00 Sept. 20. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest at Blaha Lujza Ter in Budapest from 17:00 Sept. 20. The demonstration will denounce the closure of two schools. It is unclear how many participants will attend; however, the event will feature speeches by well-known cultural figures, which may increase attendance.
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 area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Blaha Lujza Ter. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
