Slovakia: Activists to conduct protest march in Bratislava Dec. 12
Opposition activists to march from SNP Square to Freedom Square in Bratislava, Slovakia, from 18:00 Dec. 12. Heightened security likely.
Opposition activists plan to march from SNP Square to Freedom Square in Bratislava from 18:00 on Dec. 12. The demonstration will denounce the ruling government coalition. Participants plan to depart SNP Square at 18:00 before rallying and conducting a concert at Freedom Square from 19:00 to 19:45. Large crowds may attend the gathering. The planned march route was not immediately clear.
Law enforcement officers will likely deploy along the march route to facilitate the demonstration. The procession will likely disrupt vehicular transport along the march route. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers, frustrated motorists, or opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest area. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
