Portugal: Unionized healthcare workers to demonstrate in Lisbon Sept. 13
Unionized healthcare workers to protest at Ministry of Health in Lisbon, Portugal, from 11:30 on Sept. 13. Heightened security likely.
Unionized healthcare workers associated with the Common Front of Public Administration Unions plan to protest at the Ministry of Health on Avenida Joao Cristosomo in Lisbon from 11:30 on Sept. 13. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce the alleged degredation of Portuguese public health institutions. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
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 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 that any security disturbance may occur.
