Assessments & Forecast
- Considering the number of daycares set to close during the strike period, other sectors are expected to be affected, as parents will likely be required to stay home from work if unable to find replacement childcare, leading to disruptions.
- Based on Verdi’s mobilization capabilities, the associated protests are liable to witness turnouts in the mid-to-high hundreds. While protests are expected to transpire peacefully, authorities are likely to deploy a bolstered security presence in their vicinity to monitor proceedings.
- Disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular traffic are anticipated in the vicinity of the protest locations during the morning hours on June 10-12
Recommendations
- Those operating or residing in Berlin on June 10-12 are advised to allot for travel-related disruptions in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations during the morning hours due to the planned protests.
