Conmemoracion para La Masacre de los Estudiantes en 1975

On July 30, 1975, students from the National University of El Salvador  were marching to protest repression by the military, which had taken over the campus in Santa Ana on July 25. General Arturo Armando Molina ordered the Salvadoran National Guard to suppress the protest with machine guns and tanks, killing and wounding an unknown number. Now,  President Bukele attempts to erase history and implements military and police repression.
