Salvadorans to March on May Day
Thousands of workers will march in El Salvador on May 1st in a resurgence of a strong social movement, William Huezo, Public Employees Association director, announced on Friday.

Huezo said this International Workers´ Day will mark an important milestone because all the nation´s unions will march in an organized way through the principal cities of the country.

This signals a reuniting of Salvadoran progressive forces in the social struggles against poverty, economic and social problems, corruption and the deterioration of the environment, he said.

The union leader also pointed out it is time for the population to put aside their fear and demonstrate their strength so as to expose the intentions of President Antonio Saca to pass unpopular legislation, such as the US free trade agreement, that only serves the oligarchy and the imperialist interests of the United States.
