The tension in Guatemala remains high as the country prepares for the inauguration of Bernardo Arévalo as its new president. Arévalo, a member of the indigenous community, is set to assume the presidency this Sunday amid ongoing persecution from the Prosecutor’s Office and indigenous resistance.
Arévalo’s inauguration comes after more than 100 days of resistance from indigenous groups who have been protesting against his election. Despite the opposition, Arévalo has received support from a significant portion of the population, with Guatemalans mobilizing in his favor.
In the midst of this tense environment, Arévalo has been emphasizing the importance of diplomacy and dialogue. His letters of introduction as president-elect have been prepared for publication, highlighting his commitment to working towards a peaceful and inclusive governance.
The international community will also be closely watching Arévalo’s inauguration, as Guatemala continues to face challenges related to corruption, crime, and poverty. Many hope that Arévalo’s presidency will bring about positive change and greater inclusivity for marginalized communities.
The inauguration of Arévalo as Guatemala’s new president is a significant moment for the country and its people. As tensions continue to simmer, all eyes will be on how Arévalo plans to navigate the complexities of governing a nation in the midst of social and political unrest.
