▲ Guatemala’s Attorney General Consuelo Porras has asked the Constitutional Court to allow her to criminally prosecute President Bernardo Arévalo (in file photo) for allegedly taking political and financial measures against the institution he heads. She added that the government’s criticism of her administration is promoting violence against her and officials of the Attorney General’s Office. Porras’ new action comes after the government reported that the Attorney General’s Office seized the electoral register with sensitive data on almost 10 million Guatemalans eligible to vote, including name, address and political affiliation.Afp Photo
