Paraguay: Activists to begin caravan protest in Asuncion April 20

Event

Delivery and rideshare app drivers affiliated with the Motorcycle and Related Workers Union of Paraguay (Sindicato de Trabajadores en Moto y afines del Paraguay) and other groups will gather in Asuncion for a caravan protest April 20. Demonstrators will gather at Viaducto 4 Mojones from 06:00 before heading to the National Congress. The protest is being held to oppose several issues, including the rising price of fuel, and to demand better working conditions.

Heightened security around the protest areas and associated transport and business disruptions are likely the morning of April 20. Clashes and acts of violence are unlikely but cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid all protests as a precaution. Allow additional time to reach your destination if operating in Asuncion April 20.
