After a series of protests that started last week as road blockades in main highways of Guatemala, has come to its 8th day with more than 180 points blocked in the country, between main highways, roads and entrances to the Capital City and principal towns. This civil disobedience started after the General Attorney's Office and its General Prosecutor, Consuelo Porras, decided to start a penal case against the political party Semilla, who won by a landslide the General Elections, this past August. Porras has been criminalizing Semilla and has raided the offices of the main authority in elections in Guatemala, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal. Local and international experts named the raids as a flagrant violation of the People's Will and their right to choose freely. Now, after more than a week, the blockades have increased nationwide, and the main demand of all the groups blocking the roads is that Consuelo Porras and her staff resign from the General Attorney's office, and be arrested. While there have been some violent incidents, between government forces and people against the protests, mostly the protests have been peaceful. Last night, outgoing President Alejandro Giammattei, who called Consuelo Porras "his personal friend" has been defending her and has not called for her resignation, but instead in a live transmission criminalized the protest, and said that it has been affecting the national economy, so ordered the Police and the Army to free all blocked points. There has been multiple reports of Police firing tear gas at protesters in several parts of the country.
