The inauguration of Bernardo Arevalo as Guatemala’s president has been delayed because new lawmakers do not have an agreement to form a board of directors. The President-elect announced that the ceremony would take place at 4:00 pm, although there was no progress in the Legislative Assembly.
Lack of consent has been added to the list of new lawmakers as elected representatives confirm what they asked for requirements that were not provided for.
Congress headquarters are under heavy security as protesters protest over the ceremony’s delay.
Opposition MPs Aldo Davila of the Vinac party and Karina Paz of the Vos party, who was re-elected to office, criticized that the process of transferring powers to the deputies elected in the June 2023 elections was not moving forward, while new demands were asked for, which is not in the law .
Semilla lawmakers demanded clarification to proceed with the charges:
Representatives of the international community are there, including Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who said the blockade is part of the prosecution’s “unfavorable” position:
Meanwhile, Chilean President Gabriel Boric acknowledged the importance of a democratic replacement:
No protection
Guatemala’s Constitutional Court ultimately did not grant temporary protection to President-elect Bernardo Arevalo’s Semilla movement, so its 23 deputies will have to take up their positions as independents.
Moreover, they will not be eligible to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Congress of the Republic of Guatemala, which will be created this Sunday after the inauguration of its 160 members.
The ceremonial meeting for the creation of the unicameral Congress of Guatemala began this Sunday with the main purpose of electing the Board of Directors. However, the meeting was suspended until the decision of the Constitutional Court.
The Semillha Movement was negotiating with other formations about the composition of the Board of Directors, and there were even suggestions of an agreement in which the deputies of Arevalo’s party would agree on up to 90 votes in favor of their proposal.
