🇬🇹 The political crisis in Guatemala continues to deepen.
Arévalo’s announcement came after the State Attorney General’s Office raided electoral facilities storing ballots and opened ballot boxes to photograph their contents.
Arévalo called the Attorney General’s Office’s investigation of his resounding electoral victory on August 20 part of a coup attempt. He described the raid as “flagrant crimes of abuse of authority for electoral purposes” and “violation of the Political Constitution of the Republic of Guatemala.” He said that his participation in the transition would resume once the “necessary institutional [and] political conditions are reestablished.”
