Guatemala’s choice: A conversation with presidential candidate Bernardo Arévalo
July 26, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
July 26, 2023 • 11:00 AM ET | In Person & Online
Guatemalans will vote in one month for their next president. The future of Guatemala and its ties with the United States and other global actors will hinge on the winner. Bernardo Arévalo, who will contend in the second round on August 20, will represent his party, Movimiento Semilla – a political option that emerged in response to demonstrations against widespread corruption uncovered by the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG). Arévalo has served as a deputy in Congress since 2020 and has occupied multiple roles within Guatemala’s foreign service, including minister counselor in Israel, ambassador to Spain, and deputy minister of foreign affairs.
What are Arévalo’s policy proposals to address Guatemala’s political and economic reality? How can trust be restored in Guatemala’s political and electoral systems? And what is needed from the international community in order to see a free and fair electoral process on August 20th?
Ahead of Guatemala’s runoff election, join the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center for an in-person public conversation–livestreamed across social media platforms–with Bernardo Arévalo on Wednesday, July 26, from 11:00 to 11:30 a.m. ET (9:00 to 9:30 a.m. Guatemala), to hear directly from Arévalo as he shares his priorities and vision for Guatemala in the years ahead.
