[Guatemala] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Health workers at a hospital in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala conducted peaceful salary protests on April 2, 2025, as part of a broader nationwide healthcare worker strike that began March 31. The demonstration remains localized with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether healthcare disruptions affect worker availability in Guatemala's agricultural or manufacturing sectors.

Watch points

• Monitor whether healthcare strikes spread to affect worker attendance at agricultural processing facilities or textile manufacturing operations
• Track duration of nationwide healthcare worker protests and potential government response that could influence broader labor conditions
