[Guatemala] Protests: 평화적 시위

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Health workers in Guatemala's Baja Verapaz department blocked the CA-14 highway for eight hours on March 31, 2025, demanding salary increases as part of a nationwide healthcare worker protest. The roadblock was lifted following negotiations with protest representatives.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. The eight-hour duration and peaceful resolution suggest minimal immediate disruption to regional transport flows.

Watch points

• Monitor whether the nationwide healthcare worker protest expands to other major highways or transport corridors
• Track any follow-up negotiations between the government and health worker unions that could prevent future road disruptions
