Members of the Diocese of Chalatenango, El Salvador, gather at a news conference Oct. 26, 2020, to speak in favor of farmers and families affected by increased government militarization in their region, which borders with Honduras. The diocese is asking the government for dialogue, particularly because the harvest of various crops is about to hit peak season, and it will hurt people already adversely affected by the economic consequences of the pandemic.
