グアテマラ 抗議活動：平和的デモ

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Health workers in Guatemala staged an 8-hour roadblock on highway CA-1 Oriente near Cuilapa on March 31, 2025, demanding salary increases as part of a nationwide protest by health worker unions. The demonstration was resolved after negotiations with government representatives.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. The CA-1 highway serves as a key transportation corridor connecting Guatemala's eastern regions, so prolonged disruptions could affect regional goods movement, though this particular blockade was brief and resolved through dialogue.

Watch points

• Monitor whether the nationwide health worker protest campaign leads to additional road blockades on major transportation routes
• Track government response to salary demands, as unresolved labor disputes could trigger more sustained disruptions across Guatemala's road network
