Poland: Unionized healthcare workers to demonstrate in central Warsaw Nov. 19
Unionized medical staff to protest at Chancellery of Prime Minister in Warsaw, Poland, from 11:00 Nov. 19. Heightened security likely.
Unionized nurses and midwives plan to protest at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister on Aleje Ujazdowskie in Warsaw from 11:00 Nov. 19. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand improved working conditions and government assistance to reduce alleged understaffing. It remains unclear how many participants may attend.
Police will likely deploy in the area to facilitate the protest. Movement by demonstrators or road closures by police may disrupt travel near the demonstration area. Although the event will probably remain largely peaceful, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time to reach destinations near the protest site. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance may.
