Guatemala to Boycott US Products
Several Guatemalan social and union organizations joined a boycott of US products on May 1, International Workers Day, called by immigrants in that nation.

The measure aims at kicking against Washington policy to criminalize undocumented people, sanction those who help them and build walls along its border with Mexico.

The National Fight Front, which gathers over 30 Guatemalan groups, called its members to neither buy food at US restaurants nor purchase products from that country on May 1.

Meanwhile, the General Confederation of Guatemalan Workers is staging a demonstration in front of the US embassy in a few days to protest that nation´s anti-immigration policy.

In the US live over a million Guatemalans, of which 700,000 are undocumented and could be affected if the Senate passes the law under discussion.
