Assessments & Forecast
- Based on pro-Palestinian protests held in recent weeks and social media traction for the aforementioned protests, the upcoming protest actions in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, and Santiago cities are expected to draw a turnout in the high hundreds to low thousands. The protests in Salvador and Medellin are likely to be smaller, with turnouts in the low to mid hundreds.
- Given heightened sentiments over the conflict, ad-hoc counter-protests by pro-Israel activists witnessing a turnout in the high dozens-to-low hundreds can also be anticipated in the vicinity of the slated pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
- Based on precedent, the protests will likely transpire peacefully. Regardless, bolstered security measures are expected near all protest sites to monitor proceedings and divert traffic.
- Additionally, disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular traffic can be anticipated in the vicinity of the aforementioned protest locations during the slated timings.
Recommendations
Those residing or operating in the aforementioned cities in Brazil, Chile, and Colombia between July 2-4 are advised to allot for disruptions to vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the vicinity of all protest locations.
