The same president-elect had already warned on September 1 that the head of the Public Ministry, Consuelo Porras, carried out a “coup d’état” to prevent his inauguration.
The future ruler has promised the arrival of a “new spring”, like the one led by the Government of his father, Juan José Arévalo Bermejo, between 1946 and 1951, in one of the most developed Administrations for the Central American country.
Arévalo de León has pointed out in recent days that “a new chapter in the history” of Guatemala is opening and that starting this Sunday “we will begin the transformation of our great country.”
