Opposition activists to protest at Plaza de Castilla, Madrid, Spain, from 12:00 Oct. 20. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists affiliated with various groups, including the opposition People's Party (PP), plan to protest at Plaza de Castilla in Madrid from 12:00 Oct. 20. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand general elections and to denounce the current government. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend; however, large crowds are likely.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or ideologically opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Plaza de Castilla. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
