Opposition calls for a new anti-government march in El Salvador

San Salvador, Jan 5 (Prensa Latina) The Salvadoran opposition called the eve to march on January 16, the 30th anniversary of the Peace Accords that ended 12 years of armed conflict.

With the hashtag # El16Marchamos, the call is made viral on social networks, without even requiring a time or place of concentration for the alleged protest against the administration of President Nayib Bukele.

The president himself questioned on several occasions the relevance of celebrating this anniversary, and even considered the war that left 75 thousand dead and missing, and wounds still unhealed, “a farce”.

Despite having a high popular approval rating, Bukele has faced a series of demonstrations from various sectors since last September that coincide in rejecting certain policies of this administration.

The legalization of bitcoin, the purification of the judicial apparatus and the rise in disappearances have mobilized hundreds of people in recent months, although now the rejection of a Water Resources Law is added.

On January 16, 1992, the government of President Alfredo Cristiani and the guerrillas of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) signed a peace pact in Mexico that opened a new chapter for democracy in this country.
