Guatemala’s president tries to shut down anti-corruption group investigating him

Mexico City - When Jimmy Morales took over as President of Guatemala three years ago, the slogan of former television comedian campaign was "without corruption or thief."

One of the reason Morales made honesty a core issue in his campaign is unusually strong work.

Since 2015, a series of large anti-corruption protests have shaken Guatemala. In September, President Jimmy Morales attempted Colombian UN supporters to expel support for the discipline against Guatemala 's International Committee. Aboriginal communities play a leading role in protest actions and are working with Congress to ratify the Constitution that allows the expansion of indigenous autonomy. "There are activists who worry that people will abandon the struggle if they recognize the victory.I was worried that people will abandon going home.The end of homosexual phobia, It is a celebration Victory is a milestone of the road, sometimes proving to encourage us to win and advance, we will prove not to cease.

Guatemala, one of the most violent, unequal and poor countries in Latin America, enjoys rare opportunities. Because of overwhelming victory, the new president Jimmy Morales held power to end the corruption. The old political elite is confused. Bold citizens are promoting reforms to make justice more effective and make the government more transparent. Being a unique multilateral experiment behind these changes, that investigator is the International Committee of Guatemala (CICIG) on impunity in cooperation with state prosecutors to dismantle the criminal network within the state. However, CICIG is not a permanent solution. Guatemala loses opportunities unless national leaders fight disregard, like themselves, approve the reform of the standing judicial and security sector and pool resources to strengthen the national system Will.

Current Guatemalan Attorney General, Selmar Aldana, is working on this issue with the help of the International Imperial Commission of Guatemala, a United Nations support group designed to support the criminal justice system coping with serious crimes Advanced crime is corrupt. The team had some success by prosecuting strong politicians including former president Otto Perez Molina. But the Trump regime chose to re-implement the failed law enforcement policy to cope with the cross-border gang problem in this area. After the murder rate and gangsters became uncontrollable in the mid 2000s, the Obama administration basically abandoned strict policies and instead adopted comprehensive external security support measures.
