France: Horse racing sector groups plan to demonstrate in Paris Nov. 7
Horse racing sector groups across France plan to demonstrate in Paris from 12:00 Nov. 7. Road travel disruptions, increased security likely.
Horse racing groups from across France plan to demonstrate in Paris Nov. 7 to denounce the government's plan to increase taxes on the sector. Attendees will gather at Place Denfert-Rochereau from around 12:00 and march to Place Vauban, Invalides, where they will rally from 16:30 to 18:00. Organizers from multiple regions are providing transport; a few thousand people could participate in the event.
Authorities will probably deploy increased security near the march route to monitor and facilitate the event. Heightened security, likely road closures, and increased road congestion will probably prompt road travel disruptions in the south of Paris. The protest march will likely pass peacefully.
Avoid the demonstration as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Check local traffic conditions and public transport schedules for disruptions before beginning journeys. Allow extra time for travel and plan alternative routes if necessary.
