In Guatemala, demands are mounting for the resignation of President Alejandro Giammattei over his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the massive shortage of COVID vaccines in Guatemala. Several protests took place over the weekend in Guatemala City and other regions denouncing Giammattei’s government neglect and corruption. Progressive Guatemalan congressmembers are also demanding Giammattei step down. This comes as COVID-19 cases continue to skyrocket in Guatemala, with hospitals on the verge of collapsing. Others have already collapsed. Guatemala has one of the lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates in all of Latin America.
