Activists are protesting at Plaza de las Cortes in Madrid as of the early evening of Sept. 10. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce alleged fraud in Venezuela's July 28 presidential election. The event has reportedly drawn a large crowd of participants.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. 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 of any security disturbance.
