18 days after María Consuelo Porras Argueta leaves the position of attorney general, pro-government deputy Andrea Reyes requested the Guatemalan Migration Institute (IGM) for the complete immigration record of the head of the Public Ministry (MP), official sources reported this Thursday, April 30.
Reyes’ request requests to indicate whether Porras has an official, diplomatic or ordinary passport, as well as detail the date of issue and expiration, and any information related to that document.
In addition, it requests to send Porras’s migratory movement from January 1, 2025 to date, as well as specify what type of passport he used to leave and enter the country.
He also asks to inform if the attorney general has roots.
On the other hand, deputy José Chic requested the arraignment for Porras, once he loses his immunity as attorney general, according to the parliamentarian, to prevent him from leaving the country without being held accountable for a case of alleged irregular adoptions.
The request reached the prosecutor’s office of Leonor Morales Lazo, because the case still does not have a court.
Recently, President Bernardo Arévalo, who must elect the new attorney general before May 17, stated that the country is on the verge of a “change of time” to end the “regime of abuse and fear” in the judicial system, when the period of Attorney General Consuelo Porras, accused of corruption, ends.
Arévalo linked this historic turn with the current election process for the new attorney general of the Public Ministry, whose list of six candidates he received this week and is under analysis.
The constitutional responsibility of choosing the successor of Porras Argueta, sanctioned by the United States and the European Union under accusations of corruption and undermining democracy, falls on Arévalo, who is in the interview stage of the six candidates for the position.
“We can leave behind a system that has bowed to protecting the privileges of a few, the abuses and ill-gotten fortunes, that has persecuted and intimidated those who bravely defend our rights and our dignity, and usher in an era in which justice is timely, a source of tranquility, stability, peace and development,” Arévalo stated.
A position was requested from the MP on the two requirements, but he has not yet responded.
