Spain: Activists to demonstrate at Puerta del Sol, Madrid, Sept. 28
Activists to demonstrate at Puerta del Sol, Madrid, Spain, from 18:00 Sept. 28; heightened security, disruptions likely.
Activists plan to demonstrate at Puerta del Sol, Madrid, from 18:00 Sept. 28. The event aims to denounce alleged fraud in Venezuela's July 28 presidential election. Several thousand people reportedly participated in similar protests in Madrid on Aug. 7 and Aug. 17; similar numbers are likely on Sept. 28.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest sites. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or groups of rival activists cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protests as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the site of a planned protest. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
