The authorities of the 48 Cantons of Totonicapán have called for the prompt dismissal of Attorney General Consuelo Porras within the first 100 days of President Bernardo Arévalo’s government. In a press conference, they expressed concerns about various issues affecting the country, including the increase in prices of basic goods, fuel, electricity, and the suspension of essential programs for small farmers. They also made proposals for state policies to address these issues and highlighted the importance of including indigenous peoples in decision-making processes. President Arévalo responded to their demands, expressing his regret that the 48 Cantons did not participate in a recent meeting with indigenous authorities but acknowledging their call for a change at the Public Ministry. The situation continues to develop as the community awaits further actions from the government.
