GUATEMALA: Alliances take shape
With less than two months to go until the presidential run-off between Alvaro
Colom of the Unidad Nacional de la Esperanza (UNE) and Otto Pérez Molina, of
the Partido Patriota (PP), both candidates are stepping up their efforts to
forge alliances. Pérez appears to have met with more success. While the
presidential candidate for the ruling coalition, Gran Alianza Nacional (Gana),
Alejandro Giammattei, has yet to officially announce support for the PP, the
local media now treat this as a given. Colom, meanwhile, is courting the former
militiamen of the Patrullas de Autodefensas Civil (PAC).
