Greece: Unionized workers to demonstrate in Athens May 10
Unionized miners to protest at Syntagma Square in Athens, Greece, from 19:00 May 10. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Unionized mining workers employed by the General Mining and Metallurgical Company SA (LARKO) plan to protest at Syntagma Square in Athens from 19:00 May 10. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand job guarantees and denounce potential upcoming layoffs. It is unclear how many participants may attend; however, a related gathering in Athens on March 28 appeared to draw several hundred participants.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
