Guatemalan Indigenous Peoples to Defend Arevalo's Inauguration (www.telesurenglish.net)

On Friday, Indigenous organizations called for a massive march in response to the threats of a coup d'état through which Attorney General Consuelo Porras intends to prevent the inauguration of Bernardo Arevalo as Guatemala's president on Sunday.

Previously, on Thursday, the Guatemalan Supreme Court ruled against the arrest of Vice President-elect Karin Herrera and four judges of the Electoral Court.

This happened amid rumors that Attorney General Consuelo Porras intends to make these arrests, which would hinder the inauguration of the new president.

Since Arevalo came second in the first round of the elections in June 2023 and won the runoff by a landslide two months later, the Prosecutor's Office has sought to establish court cases to prevent the new authorities from taking office.

The Seed Movement and other progressive political and social organizations have described this “lawfare” as an "attempted coup d'état." This week, the Vice President-elect Herrera requested legal protection to avoid her arrest.
