CALDH (Centro para la Acción Legal en Derechos Humanos – Human Rights Legal Action Center) recently tweeted this infographic regarding the coup d’état (Golpe De Estado) being carried out in Guatemala.
Translation from the top left, clockwise, against symbols:
Book
Breaking of the constitutional order.
Disrespect for the political constitution of the Republic of Guatemala.
Tank
Although the marimba is not now heard on the national channel, nor are tanks seen in the streets, the coup d’état, orchestrated and planned by the criminal alliance, is being carried out day by day.
Handshake
Consolidation of the criminal alliance with the co-optation of all state institutions. This with the support of chambers of business, organised crime, right-wing political parties, and pro-impunity organisations related to the regime.
There is no balance, or counterweight, between the three powers of the state, the basis for democracy.
Gavel
Judges, allied with the pacto de corruptos, carry out express procedures for spurious complaints.
Security forces
Excessive use of security forces to repress citizen actions and mobilisations that oppose the actions of the pacto de corruptos.
MP
The Public Ministry (Ministerio Público – Public Prosecutor’s Office) is the manager of the coup.
Trolls
Leaking of confidential information, attacks and disinformation transmitted from netcenters (essentially trolling factories) contracted by the government and paid for with our taxes.
Prison bars
1. Criminalisation of defenders of land and territory.
2. Persecution of judges and prosecutors.
3. Persecution of lawyers.
4. Criminalisation of civil society organisations.
