Guatemalan President Invokes Legal Protection

2015-08-31 0 Dailymotion

The political crisis in Guatemala is rapidly coming to a head as embattled President Otto Perez Molina is seeking constitutional protection against a possible impeachment. On Tuesday, Congress will vote on lifting Perez Molina's immunity, which would allow for his impeachment, but it is not at all clear if such a motion has enough votes to pass. Amid the uncertain panorama, elections are scheduled for Sunday despite calls from civil society that they be postponed. Gerardo Torres reports from Guatemala City. teleSUR
