Guatemala — 시위: 평화로운 시위

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Health workers in Guatemala blocked the CA-9 Norte highway around kilometer 78 near Guastatoya on March 31, 2025, as part of a nationwide protest demanding salary increases. The 8-hour roadblock was lifted after negotiations between protest representatives and authorities.

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 is a key north-south transportation corridor in Guatemala, so sustained blockades could disrupt cargo flows between Guatemala City and northern regions, though the brief duration of this protest suggests minimal immediate impact.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of the nationwide health worker strike that could affect additional transportation routes
• Track whether salary negotiations reach resolution to prevent recurring roadblocks on critical highways
