Specifically, Arévalo de León denounces the suspension of his formation, the Semilla party. In addition, he has also filed an appeal for the raid against a headquarters of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, and against the officials whom he accuses of being behind what he has described as an “attempted coup d’état.”
“There are those who do not understand and do not listen to the people, for example Consuelo Porras, for example Rafael Curruchiche, for example Judge Fredy Orellana, that is why we have seen the need to come and raise protection against these officials who have betrayed the country.” , said the president-elect to the followers who accompanied him during the march.
Arévalo de León has received the support of several political groups. Luis Almagro, secretary general of the Organization of American States, asked prosecutor Consuelo Porras in Washington to end this persecution. Furthermore, the indigenous authorities assure that they will support the elected president in what they consider “his fight for democracy.”
Sandra Calel, indigenous activist, states: “They say that we come to defend Arévalo, but in reality we come to defend democracy, which is what the people have chosen. Because we are fed up with so much corruption.”
Bernardo Arévalo de León won the presidential elections in August, but due to an investigation led by the Prosecutor’s Office, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal suspended his political formation. Now, Arévalo de León is carrying out all the protocols to carry out the inauguration of the presidency on January 14.
