The time has come. Guatemala is facing the most dramatic events in its modern history, facing a coup d’état in response to the electoral defeat of a group of corrupt gorillas. Deputy Boris España, a member of the VAMOS party, who presided over the session of Congress where with 108 votes the pretrial proceedings against the judges of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal were removed, is a clear example of how the allies of Miguel Martínez and Giammatei act. Without knowing that his microphone was on, he informed one of his bosses, “brother, brother, right now I’m going to read and we’ll finish this shit, all that’s left is to submit and ta, ta, ta,” Spain says, and it is recorded forever. Nothing surprises us anymore and we have to be prepared for anything with this gang of criminals in power.
By removing the immunity of the magistrates, the door is opened for the Public Prosecutor’s Office to build a case in relation to the Preliminary Electoral Results Transmission system, TREP, which would call into question the results of the recent election. It is nonsense because if this were the case, the results for the current elected deputies, as well as mayors, would be invalidated; They could not question only the second round. However, given what has been seen in recent months, they are capable of putting together a mess of a case and resolution, which invalidates the second round and not the first. Or worse still, the complicit silence of those elected by the official party would be explained and those who are already in power would remain in power until a new electoral process is carried out.
Whatever the outcome they have prepared, it is abominable for democracy and the rule of law in Guatemala. At the same time, the United States government, previously worshiped by corrupt gorillas, added Miguel Martínez to the list of those affected by the Magnitsky Act, this is a sanction that the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the The United States Treasury uses it to affect corrupt and undemocratic actors, leading them to financial death through the seizure and blocking of capital and financial assets, as well as the prohibition of any banking entity that has a relationship with the northern country. , to have accounts, businesses and any relationship with those who appear on this list. The American government adds Miguel Martínez for “his role in corruption in Guatemala and for allegedly receiving bribes to agree on a $16 million contract for vaccines in the COVID 19 emergency.”
After listening to Boris Spain, it would not be surprising that while people were suffering from a pandemic, in Giammatei’s government, his dolphin thought about getting rich. And it would not be at all strange if the person the official deputy calls “brother” is Martínez himself.
The time has come to act against this plethora of corrupt gorillas, and not let them continue with their plan and have the election results invalidated. It’s not about supporting Semilla, it’s about not letting the corrupt put us in a dictatorship.
