Event

Employees of the Leon Becerra Hospital in Guayaquil plan to protest outside Edificio del Gobierno del Litoral from 09:00 May 30. The participants will protest over a salary dispute. Disruptions are likely near the intersection of Francisco De Orellana and Justino Cornejo avenues. Additional protests are also possible outside Leon Becerra Hospital in the coming days.

Police will likely deploy to monitor the protest and secure nearby government buildings. Major violence is unlikely, though low-level confrontations may occur if protesters block main roads or access to government buildings.
