The latest warning from the U.S. State Department: <br>
<br>
"Local media report that two competing demonstrations are scheduled
for this Saturday, 3 December in the vicinity of the Westbahnhof. A
rightwing group plans to protest at 1900 hours. A counter
demonstration by a leftwing group is scheduled to start earlier, at
1730 hours. Reports include speculation on the possibility of
violence in the event altercations materialize between opposing
groups of protestors or opportunistic agitators, as well as the
potential for vandalism. These reports have not estimated the number
of participants, but since both demonstrations have been registered
with the police, an appropriate security presence is expected. <br>
<br>
Please note that in addition to a foreseeable potential for
localized protest-related violence and vandalism, disruptions to
pedestrian and vehicular traffic and tram service in the immediate
vicinity of Westbahnhof and Mariahilferstrasse are also possible.
Plan accordingly.<br>
<br>
As always, remember to take personal security precautions to include
being aware of your surroundings and avoiding large gatherings."<br>
