Martinique: Protesters plan to gather at Place du Neg Mawon in Lamentin from 09:00 May 28

Event

Several groups, including the Association of Mayors (Association des Maires, AMM), have called for a protest at Place du Neg Mawon in Lamentin from 09:00 May 28. Participants will gather to oppose the possible dismissal of investigations into the use of a carcinogenic pesticide on the island.

Protesters may attempt to block roads near the protest sites. Localized transport and business disruptions are likely near Place du Neg Mawon. Clashes between protesters and security forces cannot be ruled out, particularly if authorities attempt to disperse gatherings.

Advice

Avoid all protests. Confirm private transport and business appointments. If you encounter a roadblock, do not attempt to cross it; seek alternative routes or wait for the police to reopen the road.
