Guatemala President Bernardo Arévalo has expressed challenges in implementing the changes he seeks for the nation due to opposition in the Congress and the Attorney General's Office. Arévalo, from the progressive Seed Movement party, was elected in August amidst public discontent over corruption and inefficiency in governance. He described Guatemala as 'semi-destroyed' upon taking office almost six months ago.
The country, plagued by poverty and violence, has witnessed a significant number of its citizens migrating to the U.S. Arévalo highlighted the detrimental impact of corruption on the country's institutions, emphasizing the urgent need for reform.
