US will lose out as Guatemala shuts anti-corruption commission, say experts.
“There is a link between corruption and migration,” Beltrán told NBC News. “When you talk about corruption and Guatemala, we’re not talking about a few bad apples or one administration. It’s a machinery that has been created to favor a certain few at the expense of the majority. And the most affected tend to be marginalized communities living in areas where the state is barely present.”
Security experts say that the international commission ushered a deep cultural change in the Central American country —said that the majority of Guatemalan voters supported the anti-corruption mission of the CICIG over their government and politicians. But after the conservative Alejandro Giammattei won Guatemala’s presidency on Aug. 11, experts say that it signals a wider political shift in the region that favors “mano dura” politics over the CICIG’s mission to strengthen the rule of law and democratic institutions.
