I have some comment's in Brianna Lee's
Guatemala Election Results: Next President Will Face More Pressure Than Ever On Corruption in the
International Business Times.
But trial verdicts for figures like Perez Molina and Baldetti will largely determine the trajectory of the anti-corruption movement, Allison said. "Whether [the investigative panel] and prosecutor’s office can provide some closure through convictions for the most recent scandals, that will be more important than who’s elected president," he said.
The Public Prosecutor's Office and CICIG have been quite busy these last few months - members of the executive, legislative and judicial branches, military and police, businessmen, etc. I don't expect that much from the next president (but hopefully better than what he/she inherited) so I am instead looking at successful prosecutions of those recently accused as key.
