Public schoolteachers went on strike in Paraguay Monday and took to the streets of several cities following the collapse of a major bank that resulted in the removal of the nation’s president last week.
Silvio Piris, the president of the Federation of Paraguayan Educators, said that teachers in Paraguay are concerned over the fate of around $60 million in pensions funds that had been deposited in Ueno, the bank that was intervened by Paraguay’s government last week.
“We want the return of that money to be a priority,” Piris told Paraguay’s Channel 9.
