In her position as Attorney General of Guatemala, the highest civil servant in the Public Ministry (Ministerio Público) of Guatemala (equivalent to Head of the Public Prosecutor’s Office or Chief Prosecutor), María Porras Argueta De Porres (a.k.a. “Porras”) is involved in efforts to overturn the results of the first and second rounds of elections held in June and August 2023, including through spurious criminal investigations targeting the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, the political party Movimiento Semilla and President Arévalo. Furthermore, under her leadership the Public Ministry has brought arbitrary proceedings against independent journalists, prosecutors, judges, and civil society activists including indigenous leaders and students. María Porras Argueta De Porres is therefore responsible for undermining democracy, the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power in Guatemala.
Position(s): Attorney General of Guatemala, Head of the Public Ministry (Ministerio Público) of Guatemala
En sa qualité de procureur général du Guatemala, la plus haute fonction au sein du ministère public (Ministerio Público) du Guatemala (fonction équivalant à celle de chef du parquet), María Porras Argueta De Porres (alias “Porras”) participe aux efforts visant à annuler les résultats des premier et second tours des élections qui se sont déroulées en juin et en août 2023, notamment au moyen d’enquêtes pénales fallacieuses visant le Tribunal suprême électoral, le parti politique Movimiento Semilla et le président Arévalo. En outre, sous sa direction, le ministère public a engagé des procédures arbitraires à l’encontre de journalistes indépendants, de procureurs, de juges et de militants de la société civile indépendants, y compris de dirigeants et d’étudiants autochtones. María Porras Argueta De Porres est donc responsable de porter atteinte à la démocratie, à l’état de droit et à une passation de pouvoir pacifique au Guatemala.
