In Guatemala, the efforts to undermine President Bernardo Arevalo are increasingly concerning. Attorney General Consuelo Porras has persistently sought to lift Arevalo's immunity, pushing unfounded allegations that threaten his presidency and democratic reform. The situation escalates with the arrest of Indigenous leaders linked to peaceful protests opposing Porras' interventions. This highlights how legal frameworks can be manipulated for political gain, posing serious risks to democracy and human rights in the country as powerful actors resist effective governance and reform.
The actions against President Arevalo reveal a chilling truth about power in Guatemala; democracy is at risk when legal systems are weaponized for political ends.
Attorney General Consuelo Porras’ repeated attempts to dislodge Arevalo’s presidential immunity illustrate a concerning trend of political abuse of judicial processes.
