On Saturday, dozens of Guatemalans took to the street to protest corruption and political persecution under President Alejandro Giammattei's administration.

The protests occurred ahead of the visit of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris to this country, where she will address pressing bilateral issues such as migration.

 

Gathered in the Constitution Square, citizens demanded the resignation of several officials, among whom was Congress chairman Allan Rodriguez. Protests were seen in the Quetzaltenango and Totonicapan departments.

Demonstrators demanded also Juan Solorzano's freedom, who was arrested for alleged electoral crimes on May. 19.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’s trip to Guatemala and Mexico this week is likely to emphasize cooperation with non-government organizations, amid some criticism from local officials over the timing and thrust of her mission to curb migration to the United States from the region, advisers and experts said.

Harris's advisers said she will meet with community leaders, workers and entrepreneurs, and have repeatedly sought to lower short-term expectations from the three-day trip, highlighting her focus on root causes for migration such as corruption that have plagued the countries for years.

 

"We hope that the vice president's first visit shows that she, and the United States, are standing with the people and communities organizing for change, and not with corrupt and abusive government officials," said Lisa Haugaard, co-director of the Latin America Working Group, another participant in the Harris meeting.
