In the midst of the troubled waters of malicious litigation to circumvent the popular will and prevent the inauguration of the elected president of Guatemala, Bernardo ArevaloOn January 14, the most rotten block of deputies in the Congress of the Republic is trying to approve a "law to strengthen peace," which aims to grant amnesty to soldiers accused and prosecuted for crimes of forced disappearance, torture and genocide.
With one stroke of a pen, they try to erase the lawsuits against those responsible for more than two hundred thousand murders, six hundred massacres and, at least, forty-five thousand missing people.
Although the dimensions of the genocide in Guatemala far exceed the atrocities committed in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay, where by law those responsible continue to be investigated and convicted, in the Central American country the beneficiaries of impunity take advantage of the chaos caused by themselves. to cover that dark stretch of national history with the mantle of oblivion.
The regressive forces estimate that the Arévalo government will hardly accept the clean slate that favors the perpetrators and, as if it were a premeditated revenge, they continue to dismiss and imprison honest officials such as the lawyers Claudia González and Vicenta Laparra, who for years have fought against impunity.
At least 42 senior judges have gone into exile and Giammattei and his operators in the Public Ministry for the fourth time raided the Supreme Electoral Tribunal to seize the minutes that certify the result of the election.
Guatemala is experiencing tenacious days due to the obstinacy of narco-politicians, soldiers and oligarchs who fear losing the privileges accumulated after long years without inspection or citizen surveillance and, shamelessly, now very patriotic calls to defend sovereignty while carrying out new robberies.
