Workers from other states such as Aragua, Falcón and Lara carried out activities simultaneously to demand the referral of the Onapre instructions. They ask not to leave the streets until they achieve better salary demands and their goal of returning to the benefits granted in collective agreements.
As announced in recent days, workers attached to the teacher and university education union, along with others from different areas, once again took the path of peaceful protest this Tuesday, August 23, in Caracas to demand the repeal of the instruction Onapre.
The call was made at the corner of Salas, near the Ministry of Education, where they intended to mobilize to enforce their rights. There began the demands of the day.

However, some pickets of the Bolivarian National Police (PNB) and the National Guard (GN) prevented access to the Ministry of Finance and the Vice Presidency, located on Urdaneta Avenue. Nor did they let them reach the headquarters of the National Budget Office (Onapre). They weren’t allowed to come either.
One of the protesters, the Simón Rodríguez University professor Denis González, told FM Center that the Executive harms all public workers, so they call on the “worker” president to repeal the Onapre instruction.
He recalled that workers are governed by collective bargaining, which in his opinion was “violated.” He stated that Onapre only paid him 60% of what he owes.
For his part, the member of the Ipasme Retirees Association, Roberto Carpio, denounced that retirees and pensioners are in the same situation of “hunger, misery, nepotism, corruption” that was experienced in the 1970s and 1980. He asserted that it is not the Onapre directive that must be eliminated, but rather the instructions that must be left without effect.

The protesters exclaim that “they are starving” them with the meager salaries they receive and the lack of bonuses, such as the case of health workers who are still owed 1,100 bolivars of the money to buy shoes and uniforms. .

It was reported on social networks that a woman, a participant in the protest, was allegedly hit by a taxi. Despite denouncing that she feels beaten, she did not see any major damage in the video that she released. The other people prevent the vehicle from moving from the place, while the police show up to see what is happening.

The call to march for the repeal of the Onapre instruction was not only in Caracas. In Coro, Falcón state, the entity’s unions gathered to claim their wage claims. Jesús Marín, a union representative from the hydrological company, called on the workers to remain “in the fight” and to stay in the streets to ensure that what is established in the Constitution is respected and that their claims are heard with effective results.

After having managed to get the Executive to pay the full vacation bonus to workers in the basic and university education sector, the unions agreed to remain in the streets to protest for better demands and demand the elimination of the Onapre instruction.
The president of the ruling National Union of Teachers Unitary Force (Sinafum) and deputy of the National Assembly elected in December 2020, Orlando Pérez (PSUV), assured the 18 of August that it is not part of Nicolás Maduro’s salary policy to deteriorate the conditions of workers and attributed the cause of the reductions suffered by public employees in the amounts of bonuses and salary supplements to “a bureaucratic sector that ignored the Organic Law from work”.
He regretted that “after all the effort that has been made in economic recovery, salarization and the effort made by the president (Maduro)”, it is not possible that “a bad technical vision” will make “a different decision”.
