Facing a crowd: the right reflexes to adopt

During election periods, spontaneous gatherings can erupt unexpectedly near offices, construction sites, or roadways. While sometimes peaceful, such crowds can quickly become uncontrollable.

Your first instinct should be to move away calmly—without rushing, attempting to cross through the crowd, or filming the scene. Avoid any sudden or provocative gestures and seek shelter in a safe location. If you are in a vehicle, never attempt to force your way through; lock your doors, stay calm, and wait until the road clears.

Within your organization, limiting non-essential travel, securing access points, and maintaining contact with security teams help ensure staff safety and business continuity. It is also advisable to monitor announced protest routes to anticipate potential disruptions and adjust travel plans accordingly.

Effective security relies on anticipation and composure: observing, protecting yourself, and communicating clearly are already decisive actions.
