Guatemalan Citizens Protest “Partially Mob” Local Media 17:11 November 22
In Guatemala, Central America, citizens protested extensively against the government, which said it would cut budgets for education and health care, and local media set fire to a building containing parliament, with some participants setting fire. I am telling you.
According to the Associated Press and other sources, a protest was held in Guatemala City, the capital of Guatemala City, on the 21st, calling for the resignation of President Jamatai, and about 7,000 people participated.
The gathered people said that the Guatemala government tried to reduce the budget for education and medical care, and protested that the measures against the epidemic coronavirus were inadequate.
Local media reported that some of the participants had become mobs and set fire to the building containing the parliament, and footage from the field shows that the building was bursting with flames.
In this regard, President Jamatai posted on his Twitter account that "the right to demonstrate is granted under the law, but the act of destroying public property is not permitted."
In Guatemala, the hurricane "Eta" approached earlier this month, causing a total of more than 150 dead and missing people, as well as severe damage such as the destruction of houses.
Despite this situation, public dissatisfaction with the government trying to reduce the budget for people's lives is increasing, and there are concerns about further deterioration of public security.
