By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: On Friday, December 15, 2023, Guatemala’s President-elect Bernardo Arevalo met with Prime Minister John Briceño.
The Guatemalan President-elect and the Prime Minister discussed the steps to follow in bilateral collaboration and strengthening the relationship between Guatemala and Belize.
President-elect Arevalo is scheduled to take office in January.
However, since the August Presidential elections, his offices and that of his party have experienced raids by the Attorney General’s office.
Thousands of Guatemalans also protested demanding the Attorney General to respect the rule of law and to respect the will of the people in the August elections.
Most recently, the U.S. imposed visa restrictions on nearly 300 Guatemalan nationals, including 100 lawmakers out of the 160-member unicameral Congress, accused of undermining democracy in Guatemala.
Guatemala’s outgoing President Alejandro Giammattei has since rejected what he described as “intimidating actions” that undercut national sovereignty.
