Efforts to prevent the inauguration of the president-elect Bernardo Arevalo<\/a> In Guatemala and the malicious litigation conducted by his opponents in the courts, the Board of Directors of Congress and the Public Ministry have been classified as a slow-motion coup d'\u00e9tat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The courts do not have electoral jurisdiction, but they decide to suspend the Semilla party and Congress then leaves the members of its bench without a party, so that as independents they cannot access positions on the Board of Directors controlled by the corrupt.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

President Giammattei appeared before the cameras acknowledging Ar\u00e9valo's victory, but hinted that on January 14, 2024, he will hand over the presidential sash not to the winner of the elections, but to his cronies in Congress, who would appoint a provisional president and call for new elections.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The operation is being led by, among others, the Foundation against Terrorism, prosecutor Consuelo Porras, alias "doctora comosiama", and prosecutor Rafael Curruchiche, who are in charge of covering up the thefts of Giammattei and his partner Miguel Mart\u00ednez.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nervous about the ghost of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hern\u00e1ndez, extradited to the United States, Mart\u00ednez and Giammattei were caught in a telephone conversation in which, distressed, Mart\u00ednez calls the "doctor comosiama" an "old whore" and prosecutor Curruchiche an "idiot."\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the level of institutional deterioration of the State, and evidence of the wear and tear suffered by a model of domination that is living its final days.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is difficult for the "clique" of oligarchs, military personnel, narco-politicians and evangelical pastors to give in and accept Ar\u00e9valo's victory in a civilized manner. They seem to care little about the uncertainty and social irritation generated by the malicious litigation that could end up turning into popular anger.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
