Guatemalan protesters demand resignation of President Giammattei

The protests are among the largest and most widespread since 2015. A few hundred gathered along the Inter-American highway in San Lucas Sacatepequez, in an at-times festive protest demanding President Alejandro Giammattei and Attorney General Maria Porras resign. The largely Indigenous protesters were joined by student groups and residents to participate in the national strike. “We are demanding that Giammattei resign,” Angelina Aspuac, an activist with the Popular and Social Assembly, told Al Jazeera. “We are fed up with seeing the corrupt actions of this government,” She said. “The decisions they make do not favour us, they allow and seek laws to generate impunity.”

The protests have gained momentum since Guatemala s Attorney General Maria Porras last week removed anti-graft fighter Juan Francisco Sandoval as head of the Special Prosecutor s Office Against Impunity (FECI). Sandoval, who fled Guatemala last weekend, said he was fired after the attorney general prevented him from trying to investigate corruption cases with links to Giammattei. The president has denied being involved in corruption.
