The police have information such as that tomorrow, during a protest announced by the Movement for the People, it is planned to organize actions of destabilization and mass disorder. In this context, the law enforcement officers ask the organizers and participants to obey the legal requirements and not admit actions that would endanger the life and health of people, as well as the security of the state.
The police ask, in particular, the public association with illegal badges and insignia, moving in front of the column of participants to be with their faces uncovered.
