Madrid, December 10 (EFE). – The head of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez, spoke this Sunday with the elected president of Guatemala, Bernardo Arévalo de León, to express his full support for the attempt of his country's public ministry to reverse the crisis result of the elections in August last year.
“The popular will of the Guatemalan people, freely expressed in the elections, must be respected by all institutions,” wrote the head of the Spanish executive on his account on the social network Call.
“I am convinced that under his mandate, Spain and Guatemala will strengthen their already excellent bilateral relations through greater cooperation in all areas,” he added.
Sánchez already expressed this Friday his opposition to the actions of the Public Prosecutor's Office and also showed on this social network his “complete rejection of the actions of the Ministry of Public Power of Guatemala, which threatens democracy and the will of citizens expressed in the elections “. .” “.
“My support for the elected President Bernardo Arévalo de León. Democracy must win,” he wrote at the time.
Guatemala's Ministry of State assured on Friday that the elections won by Arévalo de León were invalid due to alleged administrative irregularities by the Supreme Electoral Court.
The prosecutor's office, which accused Arévalo de León last September of carrying out a “coup d'état” against him, pointed out that the electoral documents used in the elections were “null and void” since they were initially “not approved” by the Supreme Electoral Court. EFE
