EPISODE: Guatemalan Political Crisis-June 25 Elections Set as Critics Slam Disqualifications
GUEST: Frank with The Network in Solidarity with the People of Guatemala (NISQUA)
BACKGROUND:
Campaigning began in earnest last month for Guatemala’s general elections, with political messaging filling the streets, local broadcasts and social media. But less than three months before the June 25 vote, concerns are mounting among national and international observers over the integrity of the process.
At least 30 political parties are set to contest the upcoming elections, with more than 22,000 candidates registered to run for the presidency, congress, regional parliament and councils across the country. But Guatemala’s Supreme Electoral Tribunal, which governs elections, has blocked several opposition candidates from running on “dubious grounds."
