With barely a month to go before Guatemalan voters go to the polls to pick a new president, a judge suspended the candidacy of frontrunner Carlos Pineda on Friday, in a ruling swiftly denounced as undemocratic by the businessman outsider.
Pineda pledged to appeal the ruling to the country's constitutional court, the top judicial authority in Central America's most populous country, but with only about a week before official ballots are set to be printed.
"We're in a dictatorship," Pineda thundered in a video posted to his Twitter account.
