Guatemala Youth Join Anti-FTA
Rally
Guatemalan young people
announced Thursday their
willingness to join the massive
February 24 march scheduled
against the Free Trade Agreement
(FTA) with the US in Guatemala
City.
The five-kilometer rally, which
will parade in front of the US
embassy, was called by the
National Fight Front that
gathers grassroots
organizations.
Rebeca Tamayac, leader of the
Anti-imperialist Bloc that
refuted all the reforms boosted
by Jacob Arena administration,
denounced her country´s abject
poverty and lack of
opportunities that lead many
young people to joining the
morass.
Likewise, she slammed the US
double standard, championing for
a supposed free trade agreement
while not allowing Central
Americans to look for jobs on
its territory.
