El presidente de Guatemala, Bernardo Arévalo de León, no descartó este lunes (29.04.2024) la realización de una consulta popular para remover a la fiscal general y jefa del Ministerio Público (Fiscalía), Consuelo Porras, quien intentó evitar su investidura.

“Sobre la consulta popular, esa es una opción que estamos considerando en el marco de las distintas acciones legales, que nosotros hemos dicho, para lograr liberar al Ministerio Público de la ‘red’ político-económica ilegal que en este momento lo tiene controlado”, expuso el presidente en rueda de prensa. Sin embargo, advirtió que “no es una decisión tomada” y que por el momento todas las opciones están sobre la mesa para su análisis.

La ley guatemalteca establece que la única forma de remover a la fiscal general es mediante una condena judicial en su contra.

El polémico papel de Consuelo Porras en la Fiscalía

Porras intentó, mediante diversas maniobras legales, evitar la investidura de Arévalo de León desde que avanzó a la segunda vuelta de los comicios celebrados en 2023.

La jefa del Ministerio Público guatemalteco fue sancionada en 2022 por Estados Unidos, al igual que la cúpula de la entidad, con el retiro de su visa bajo señalamientos de corrupción en el país centroamericano.

En septiembre de 2023, Arévalo de León acusó públicamente a Porras de intentar llevar a cabo un “golpe de Estado” en su contra para evitar que llegara al poder tras ganar sorpresivamente los comicios de 2023.

Las consultas populares en Guatemala están bajo la coordinación del Tribunal Supremo Electoral y la última se llevó a cabo en 2018 sobre la disputa territorial existente con Belice.
