Plan journeys in the capital Paris on 30 June accounting for disruption during a planned protest by unions representing public broadcasting employees.

The event is being held in protest at the proposed creation of a holding company for the public broadcasting sector. The rally will be accompanied by a strike by public broadcasting employees. Although the gathering is expected to be well attended and pass off peacefully, it may cause localised travel disruption.

Expect disruption in the capital Athens on 27 and 30 June during 24-hour strikes by the National Bank of Greece Employees' Association (SYETE).

Expect disruption and avoid the area near Tre Torri station in Milan over the coming hours due to an ongoing emergency services operation.

Monitor developments over the coming days following the suspension of an indefinite strike by metal workers in Cadiz province (Andalusia autonomous community), which began on 23 June. The UGT and Femca unions called off the industrial action after reaching a preliminary collective bargaining agreement on 27 June with the employers’ association. However, several other unions, including the CGT and CMT unions, have refused to sign onto the agreement and organised a protest on 30 June amid continued negotiations. Participants will assemble at 18.00 (local time) at Plaza de Jesus in Puerto Real (Cadiz) before marching through the municipality’s historic centre. Further protests are possible in the coming days. Avoid all associated gatherings as a precaution.

Exercise caution and follow official directives in Villa del Prado (Madrid autonomous community) over the coming hours amid a wildfire.

There have been no reports of related casualties thus far. Road closures, traffic diversions and short-notice evacuation orders are likely in the affected area. Exercise caution if travelling near the area and follow all official directives.
