Guatemala — 시위: 평화로운 시위

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Health workers from Guatemala's General Hospital San Juan de Dios National Union conducted a peaceful protest on April 2, 2025, around kilometer 117 of the Interamerican Highway near Solola, demanding salary increases. The demonstration is part of a broader nationwide healthcare worker strike that began March 31.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. Second-order effects would depend on whether the healthcare worker strike escalates or spreads to affect broader economic activity, though the current action appears limited to salary negotiations within Guatemala's public health sector.

Watch points

• Duration and geographic spread of the healthcare worker strike beyond the initial locations
• Potential for the protest to expand beyond healthcare workers to other public sector unions
• Any escalation from peaceful demonstration to more disruptive protest tactics
