GUATEMALA: Judicial election draws concern
The recent election of Guatemala’s 13-member supreme court (CSJ) and 156 appellate court judges for five-year terms has failed to provide much optimism regarding the prospects for President Bernardo Arévalo, an anti-corruption reformer, in terms of delivering on his election-winning pledge to dismantle the so-called ‘pacto de corruptos’ network of institutional corruption. The appointments suggest that for the time being, little will change regarding the integrity of the judiciary, which along with other key institutions like the attorney general’s office and legislature, is largely aligned with the ‘pacto’.
