Diverse sectors of Salvadoran society once again took to the streets on Saturday, November 23 to denounce the Bukele regime’s attacks on public sector workers and the deep cuts to social spending included in the proposal for next year’s budget.

Over 60 public sector workers, mostly teachers and healthcare workers, have been fired after an October 19 march denouncing the austerity measures presented in the government’s 2025 budget bill. The bill would eliminate 11,176 public sector positions, adding to the mass layoffs that have occurred throughout Bukele’s presidency.
