Uruguay: Protesters plan to gather in central Montevideo Dec. 17
Protesters plan to gather at Ministry of Labor and Social Security in central Montevideo, Uruguay, from 09:00 Dec. 17. Disruptions likely.
Protesters affiliated with the Confederation of Industrial Trade Unions (Confederacion de Sindicatos Industriales, CSI) will gather outside the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in Montevideo from 09:00 on Dec. 17 to denounce recent layoffs. The amount of participants the event may draw remains unclear.
The demonstration will likely result in localized transport disruptions in downtown Montevideo. Heightened security is likely in the area. Skirmishes between demonstrators and the police cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a precaution. Allow additional time to reach your destination if operating in central Montevideo on Dec. 17. Reconfirm transport schedules. Heed instructions from authorities.
