Activists to rally, stage protest march in Zaragoza, Spain, from 18:30 Nov. 30; officials to deploy increased police presence, close roads.
Activists are planning to stage a rally and a subsequent protest march in Zaragoza from 18:30 Nov. 30 to demand more affordable housing. Protest participants will reportedly gather for the rally at Plaza de Basilio Paraiso and then march via Paseo Aragon, Paseo Independencia, Plaza de Espana, Calle del Coso, Calle de Alfonso I, Calle de Espoz y Mina, Calle de Don Jaime I, and Calle del Coso once more before returning to Plaza de Espana. The number of people who would participate in the demonstration was not immediately clear.
Authorities have announced that an increased police presence will be deployed in the affected area to close local roads and implement traffic detours in connection with the protest. Lingering transport and business disruptions are likely in the vicinity of the march route. Clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest march as a precaution. Allow extra time for travel in Zaragoza and consider taking alternative routes to circumvent the demonstration area and any associated disruptions. Adhere to all instructions issued by local officials.
