Paraguay: Teachers to protest nationwide, June 29

Event

Teachers plan to protest nationwide June 29 in response to a dispute with the government over salaries. In Asuncion, protesters will gather at the Pantheon of Heroes from 09:00 before marching to various public institutions in the vicinity. Protests elsewhere in the country are likely near major government buildings or in prominent public squares. Hundreds of people are likely to participate in the action.

Heightened security is likely near all protest venues. Police deployments and protests are likely to results in short-term, localized ground travel disruptions. Clashes between police and protests are possible if demonstrators ignore police orders to disperse or if protesters are overly disruptive.

Advice

Avoid all protests as a standard precaution. Plan for short duration ground travel delays near demonstration sites.
