The organizations’s group, particularly the teachers who have been on an indefinite strike since April 23, also demand the cancellation of a memorandum signed by the Government with the United States on April 9, which allows the establishment of military bases in a deliberate disrespect to the country’s sovereignty.

Previously, teachers’ unions arrived at the Legislative building and stated that they will maintain this type of protest, ignoring the Minister of Education, Lucy Molinar, who pointed out that classes in public schools would resume this week.

For tomorrow, the Front of Professional, Technical and Management Trade Unions of the Health Sector will also take to the streets in a mobilization that will follow the same route, demanding the reversal of a law which, according to the demonstrators, does not solve the crisis of the Social Security Fund. These rallies are taking place in a climate of growing social discontent, in the midst of calls for dialogue which have failed to stop the rejection of a law which many sectors consider regressive.

Another demand is that the Executive branch respect the November 2023 Supreme Court ruling that ordered the closure of operations at the Donoso copper mine (Colon province), in support of the rejection of open-pit metal mining.
