Assessments & Forecast
- Based on media estimates, the aforementioned protests are expected to garner turnouts ranging from the low hundreds to the high thousands, with the demonstrations in Berlin, Brussels, Paris, and Rome anticipated to garner the largest turnouts. Moreover, protests are also likely to be announced in other urban centers regionwide, especially on November 25.
- Considering heightened sentiments over rising gender violence in multiple countries in Europe, coupled with the possible involvement of far-left feminist groups, the protests carry a latent potential for unrest in the form of localized scuffles between police and demonstrators. However, this is unlikely to escalate into wider unrest.
- As such, a bolstered security presence is liable to be deployed in the vicinity of the aforementioned protest locations to monitor the proceedings.
- Significant disruptions to both pedestrian and vehicular movement are expected near the aforementioned protest locations during the slated timings. Authorities are also likely to establish cordons and roadblocks in the vicinity of these locations during the protest timings.
Recommendations
- Those operating or residing in Europe on November 23-25 are advised to maintain heightened vigilance in the vicinity of the aforementioned protests due to the latent potential for unrest.
- Allot for associated disruptions to travel near the protests during the slated timings.
