GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) – Guatemala’s President Alejandro Giammattei on Friday called for roadblocks to be lifted and said he cannot remove the country’s attorney general, something demanded by protesters who accuse authorities of blocking the government transition.
Attorney General Maria Consuelo Porras, whose office has said she will not step down, has been investigating the party of president-elect Bernardo Arevalo in what he and the Organization of American States have branded an attack on democracy.
