Guatemala’s democratic process under threat?
Alvaro Colom
In news from neighboring Guatemala, a report from the Associated Press says that the government took an usual step today when it published a paid ad announcing that the democratic process was under threat. President Alvaro Colom’s government is accusing the opposition party of plotting against it, saying that Guatemala may be heading toward a “break with institutional order equal to what they did in Honduras”, referring to the way President Manuel Zelaya was ousted in a coup last June. The ads claim that businessmen, politicians, mafias and criminals are joining forces to bring down the government. Meanwhile, Congresswoman for the opposition, Nineth Montenegro, conceded that the country has had enough of the violence and drug running, for which Colom has been chided in the past, but she says her party would not permit a coup to be carried out.
