GUATEMALA: Giammattei hardens stance as protests continue
As Guatemala enters a second week of nationwide protests over calls for discredited attorney general María Consuelo Porras to quit and for the result of the 20 August presidential run-off, which produced a victory for anti-graft candidate Bernado Arévalo, to be respected [WR-23-40], President Alejandro Giammattei is toughening his stance. Under pressure from the impact of the protests called by Arévalo, who has named Porras as a co-conspirator in a coup aimed at preventing the transfer of power in January [WR-23-36], Giammattei pronounced the blockades illegal and said they would not be tolerated, sparking fears of violence.
