United under the motto “I stay in El Salvador”, the young people, coming from different areas of the country and some accompanied by their parents and grandparents, concentrated at the Las Chinamas border crossing to then walk towards the interior of the nation.
Several also used white T-shirts and flags with the phrase “let’s support integration” while demanding concrete initiatives from the Executive to end the scourge that hits entire families.
According to figures from social organizations that work with migrants, between 200 and 300 Salvadorans leave their country daily, without documents, for the United States.
“The key is that, if we want to change as a society, that there is more progress, inclusion, we must work together. That opens up opportunities for all of us, not just young people who often, because there aren’t any, decide to leave the country “, José Fernández, a 21-year-old business administration student, told the AFP agency.
“I believe that through an integration project the right conditions can be generated to try to eradicate or at least minimize the migration that affects our country,” said Jairo Acuña, 26.
While the president of the Forever Foundation, the Argentine Alejandro Gutman, organizer of the march, remarked: “We want less migration, so there is more integration, it is very necessary that we respond to the people, it is not possible that the future will continue to be stolen from the poor.”
