In a press conference by leaders of the Alliance, Eduardo Gil, Secretary-General of “Convergencia Sindical,” noted that a year after the great mobilization in June 2022, this time the unrests will begin near the National Assembly (Parliament).

Gil recalled that such protest nationwide forced the Government to set in Penonome (Cocle) City a dialogue table and to adopt palliative actions to the crisis triggered by high prices of food, medicines, fuel and electricity, among other issues.

A year passed by those conversations and in response to a list of 32 petitions, he explained, the Executive fails to comply with the agreements, suspends some measures and the unsatisfied needs of the population are growing.

In this regard, Gil provided as an example that the current Cortizo’s administration intends to pass on the structural and financial issues and the lack of medicines of the Social Security Fund to next government to be elected in the May 2024 elections.

In response to questions from Prensa Latina, the Coordinator of the National Front in Defense of Economic and Social Rights Jorge Guzman stated that the popular and native movements have not given up the path of dialogue based on the proposal of a second phase, but one that provides concrete solutions and not this one that the government is boycotting.
