Washington, (EFE).- The person in charge of Latin America in the US Department of State, Brian Nichols, asked the Guatemalan Foreign Minister, Mario Búcaro, on Monday that his government not interfere in the second round of elections on August 20 in the face of attempts to disable the Seed Movement.
“I spoke with Mario Búcaro about the great importance of allowing the second round of the Guatemalan elections to take place without interference or harassment against candidates or parties,” Nichols explained on social media.
The deputy undersecretary of the Department of State remarked in the same message that “the Guatemalan people have the right to elect their own leaders.”
The first round of the Guatemalan general elections gave former first lady Sandra Torres and the social democratic candidate Bernardo Arévalo de León as winners.
Both must attend the second round on August 20 to replace the outgoing president, Alejandro Giammattei, but the Prosecutor’s Office has been trying to disqualify the Arévalo de León party, the Seed Movement, for an alleged case of corruption described as being staged by broad sectors.
The Organization of American States (OAS) has condemned the “political persecution” against Semilla, while the US government warned last week that what is happening in Guatemala is typical of “dictatorships.”
