Guatemala: Tens of Thousands March to Demand President's Resignation 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Guatemala, tens of thousands of people marched through the streets
Thursday to demand the resignation of President Otto Pérez Molina. It
is the latest in months of massive demonstrations over a corruption
scandal that has led to the resignation of the majority of the
president's Cabinet and the arrest of top officials. Earlier this week,
the Supreme Court lifted the president's immunity from prosecution,
clearing the way for his impeachment, and passing the impeachment
recommendation along to Congress. For our full coverage of the ongoing
uprising in Guatemala, go to democracynow.org.
