Oct. 27 (UPI) -- Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo has accused the prosecutor's office of leading an attempted coup.
The accusation directly targets Attorney General Consuelo Porras and criminal court Judge Fredy Orellana, whom the president described as the main operators of a "criminal alliance" seeking to dismantle the democratic order.
On Friday, Orellana issued a ruling voiding all actions related to Movimiento Semilla, the party that brought Arévalo to the presidency in 2023, citing allegations of forged signatures in its registration as a political organization.
The order was sent to the Citizens Registry of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal and to Congress, instructing lawmakers to take "the measures required by law."
