Estados Unidos marca a jueces y fiscales hostiles a Bernardo Arévalo como ‘corruptos’

En un informe al Congreso de Guatemala, Estados Unidos dijo que el juez Fredy Orellana y la fiscal Cinthia Monterroso ‘socavaron los procesos democráticos’ al presentar cargos por motivos políticos contra periodistas

People demonstrate to demand the resignation of Attorney General Consuelo Porras and prosecutor Rafael Curruchiche whom they accuse of trying to block the newly elected president from taking office, outside the Public Ministry in Guatemala City on October 9, 2023. Guatemala's highest court ordered authorities Saturday to safeguard the inauguration of incoming president Bernardo Arevalo, an anti-graft crusader who has been targeted with legal challenges to his swearing-in in January. Uncertainty about the democratic process has sparked days of large protests in which mostly indigenous protesters used vehicles and tree branches to block key roads leading toward Mexico, El Salvador and Honduras.

Washington. Estados Unidos añadió el jueves a una fiscal y a un juez guatemaltecos hostiles al presidente electo Bernardo Arévalo a una lista negra de “corruptos”, lo que los hace inelegibles para visas estadounidenses.

Arévalo ganó en agosto de manera sorpresiva las elecciones en su país al frente de una plataforma anticorrupción, y desde entonces ha estado en un tira y afloja con jueces y fiscales que intentan bloquear su toma de posesión el 14 de enero.
