Higher education and research groups plan to demonstrate at the State Parliament (Abgeordnetenhaus) of Berlin from 08:30 Dec. 19. Various university research and other higher education bodies will denounce planned budget cuts in the sector. It is possible that several hundred protestors will take part in the demonstration.
Authorities will likely deploy heightened security to facilitate the event. Increased security, pedestrian congestion, and road closures will likely prompt localized traffic disruptions. The event will likely pass off peacefully.
