International


The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, said on Friday that democracy in Guatemala "remains in danger," despite election winner Bernardo Arevalo assuming the presidency this year after a post-electoral crisis.

Guatemala had in 2023 one of the most tense electoral processes in its recent history, after the Prosecutor's Office tried to invalidate the election's results and prevent Arevalo from being sworn in as president.
