The missing questions – PublicoGT

Jorge Santos

From a philosophical point of view, the dilemma is understood as an argument created by two propositions against each other, in such a way that, denying or granting one of the two, there is a certain decision on to show In that sense, it seems that the President of the Republic is struggling with a dilemma when he is facing the biggest problem regarding the full use of his mandate and with that the use of what has been closed by the Guatemalan population at the polls. The president may feel or see that the democratic and institutional exercise of dismissing the attorney general and the head of the public ministry must take place in full compliance with institutional procedures and without that, on the one hand, breaks the connection he has with him. democracy and on the other hand he would be breaking the law. That dilemma does not exist and we will try to explain it below.

Since she falsely came to the Ministry of the Public, Mrs. Consuelo Porras has dedicated herself to destroying the institution of the governing body in criminal investigation and prosecution, with the sole aim of guaranteeing freedom This destruction has included at least the following events: the elimination of those prosecutor’s offices dedicated to the investigation and prosecution of high-impact crimes, such as the FECI, money ‘ call or recently Human Rights; With that dismantling, he has co-opted such places and placed mediocre people in them, without professional and/or academic preparation to carry out that task; Once the place was seized, the criminal prosecution processes were accelerated against what she and the group she defends consider to be opposition actors, while benefit them with punishment. All this is guaranteed by a series of illegal and obvious violations of labor, administrative and criminal laws.

At the same time, the Convention for Human Rights has recently published a report called expensive, ineffective and corrupt: an assessment of the MP during the administration of Attorney General Consuelo Porras, who gives details with official data, as the current MP is largely more budget very ineffective. , it is de-protecting the population with that ineffectiveness and has produced high levels of impunity, thus allowing crime to increase and even anger against the Guatemalan people. That is to say, Mr. President, that you have a series of political, legal and democratic criteria before you, with the mandate given by the People, which will give you just enough reasons for the High- to dismiss an advocate.

If that is the case, there is no such dilemma or there should not be such a dilemma, but instead the firm conviction that we as a society, not just the president, are against a criminal structure that has taken control of an institution that must respond to a legal mandate and not a group of power actors for spurious reasons. From that account, the only option is to use the Political Constitution and dismiss the prosecutor and from there, start with recovering the MP to serve the interests of the society and not the Corrupt Pact.

Defender of human rights, lover of life, hopes and utopias, which led me to work for another Guatemala, in student and peasant groups, for the victims of the Internal Armed Conflict and for the protection of human rights defenders. I faithfully believe, like Otto René Castillo, that those who raise it beautiful get a beautiful life.
