The Spanish Embassy in the United States recommends that Spaniards visiting Washington DC or other state capitals these days act with “caution” after U.S. authorities have warned of possible protests and incidents in connection with the inauguration of the new president, Joe Biden, on January 20.
In its Twitter account, the Embassy included a “security warning” aimed at Spaniards who are or will be traveling to the United States until next Thursday, January 21. It advised “caution in visits to DC and state capitals” as well as “follow the security recommendations of local authorities.
A few days ago, the FBI alerted the rest of the authorities and federal agencies to the possibility of “armed protests” in the different state capitals during the days before Biden’s inauguration on the steps of the Capitol in Washington. The warning came after six supporters of the current president, Donald Trump, stormed the Capitol while the ceremony to ratify Biden’s election was taking place, resulting in five deaths, including a policeman.
