On June 21, we delivered a letter, supported by national and international organizations, to the Consulate General of El Salvador in Chicago where we wrote to demand the immediate release of the social leaders and war veterans of the National Alliance El Salvador in Peace arrested on the 30th and 31st. of May.
Afterwards, from the monument to the martyrs of the Haymarket revolt, we send a greeting in solidarity with the @blockpopular with the message: what they couldn't do 150 years ago, they couldn't do today either, and the fight continues!
📄🚨🔊
"As Salvadorans abroad and an allied community, we stand in solidarity with the communities and groups that organize to defend themselves against the serious setbacks towards authoritarianism, militarism and persecution. We will continue, from abroad, our complaints in this second unconstitutional period of Nayib Bukele to ensure the end of the criminalization of human rights defenders.

Beginning June 1st, the Salvadoran people will face an illegitimate government, headed by “president” Bukele’s circle of nepotism, which intends to entrench itself indefinitely to become part of the oligarchy. The recent elections were unconstitutional and fraudulent, giving rise to an imposed, illegal, and illegitimate government, which WE DO NOT RECOGNIZE.
From abroad we join the International Day of Condemnation of Bukele’s Illegitimate Presidency, in solidarity and struggle of the Salvadoran people to rescue the country and the democracy for which generations of Salvadorans fought and even gave their lives. IN SOLIDARITY AND STRUGGLE FROM CHICAGO!
