Guatemala: Congress Prepares to Vote on President’s Impeachment

HeadlineSep 01, 2015

In Guatemala, President Otto Pérez Molina continues to refuse to resign as Congress prepares to vote on his impeachment. The president has faced months of massive demonstrations over a corruption scandal that has led to the resignation of the majority of the president’s Cabinet and the arrest of top officials. Pérez Molina said Monday he would face the impeachment process head-on.

President Otto Pérez Molina: “I am ready not only to face this process but also to respond to it, and to respond to it head-on, with my head held high, because if there’s anyone who has been hurt by this more than anyone, it is me.”
