La granja, una construcción de cemento gris a las afueras de Malpaso, suele acoger veladas como esta. Los dueños son los padres de Héctor Alejandro Saucedo y, desde siempre, él y sus amigos pasan allí las horas muertas: viendo películas, mirando al techo, hablando de la vida, haciendo lunadas —fiestas, reuniones nocturnas—. Esas cosas que se hacen cuando tienes 18 años y lo más importante en el mundo es pasar tiempo con tus compas. Además, no son muchachos demasiado inquietos. Nunca arman mucho jaleo, nunca molestan demasiado”.

Anti-Democratic Actions in Guatemala
Matthew Miller, U.S. Department of State, October 1, 2023
“The United States is gravely concerned with continued efforts to undermine Guatemala’s peaceful transition of power to President-elect Arévalo. Most recently, the Guatemalan Public Ministry seized electoral materials under the custody of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE).
