Once again, with the support of the corporate elite, fear is used as the main instrument to send a warning. Jimmy Morales manages to expel Iván Velásquez from the country, as a starting point of his campaign to dismantle the CICIG and attack all its allies.

To achieve his goal, Morales has to fight, inside and outside of Guatemala. He turns to Donald Trump to end CICIG funding and also persecutes the former Attorney General Thelma Aldana, a candidate for the presidency who has promised the continuity of the CICIG.

As if that was not enough, Morales orchestrates a campaign to attack the CICIG’s base team, forcing many of their collaborators to leave Guatemala. These are the voices that tell us the story, a different one from the official one.
