President Bernardo Arévalo, navigating a complex political landscape marked by a suspended party, limited congressional support, and an ongoing legal challenge, appealed to Guatemalans on Thursday to help him break through the entrenched old guard and bring the change he promised during his election campaign.
"We are clear that in the current context, we depend on society and convincing them that together we begin to row," the president said on Thursday, AP News reported. "We can't depend on a political system where those criminal and patronage networks still lurk."
