Guatemala City, Sep 12 (EFE).- Guatemala’s President-elect Bernardo Arevalo de Leon, said Tuesday he momentarily suspended the transition process with the current government following the prosecutor’s office’s actions against the June 25 elections.
Arevalo de Leon said at a press conference that the decision is due “to the situation caused” by the office, “while the necessary political conditions are reestablished.”
The president-elect asked for the resignation of the attorney general and head of the prosecutor’s office Consuelo Porras, whom he had accused on Sep. 1 of carrying out a “coup” against him.
“We have informed President Alejandro Giammattei that we are temporarily suspending our participation in the administrative transition process,” the 64-year-old academic said.
