Paraguayan teachers and healthcare workers demand greater funding

2014-08-28 0

At least 10,000 teachers and their supporters took to the streets to demand greater investment in education and a 10% wage hike. Healthcare workers have staged similar protests in recent days. The teachers were met by violent police attacks this morning in which a teleSUR producer and several photo-journalists were among those injured. President Horacio Cartes sent Congress this morning his spending bill for next year, which offers no increase in spending on healthcare or education. teleSUR
