GUATEMALA: Arévalo marks one year in office, struggles with key pledge
Last month Guatemala’s anti-corruption reformist President Bernardo Arévalo, who swept to victory in 2023 pledging to take on the ‘pacto de corruptos’ network of institutional corruption, marked his first year in office. While Arévalo has claimed some progress regarding this promise, these efforts ultimately remain hobbled by the continuance in the post of discredited attorney general María Consuelo Porras, who has been blacklisted by the US and other members of the foreign community, as well as the compromised nature of key institutions like the judiciary.
