グアテマラ抗議活動：平和的デモ

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On 31 March 2025, health workers in Puerto Barrios, Guatemala staged an 8-hour peaceful protest blocking CA-9 Norte highway at km 299, demanding salary increases under the 2025 state budget. The action was part of a nationwide protest organized by hospital and health worker unions before being lifted following negotiations.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. The CA-9 Norte highway serves as a key transportation corridor in eastern Guatemala, so prolonged blockades could affect regional freight movement, though the 8-hour duration and peaceful resolution suggest minimal immediate disruption.

Watch points

• Monitor for additional nationwide health worker strikes that could affect multiple highway corridors simultaneously
• Track whether salary negotiations lead to broader public sector labor actions that might impact transportation infrastructure
