4:21 am
and here in the stream today un back to anti-corruption body in guatemala is battling for its survival as the country's president ignores court orders well look at what lies in store as protests mount send your comments via twitter or our you tube. thousands of people across guatemala are urging president jimmy morales to step down following government efforts to shut down the international commission against
4:22 am
impunity and guatemala known as seasick the body has worked with quite a modern law agencies helping prosecute hundreds of individuals including former president. this was the scene in guatemala city last thursday after the morales government said it would stop see six head but as guys from coming back into bottom all up in defiance of a ruling by the constitutional court what are less had pledged a new era of political accountability when running for the presidency in two thousand and fifteen but that was before seasick turned its eye on what alice and his family amid allegations of illegal campaign financing here is what seasick has to say about its work. who. just as.
4:23 am
you know. state corruption just. for. the structures. well the move to block the head of sea sick from entering the country came just two weeks after the guatemalan government said it would mandate when it expires on september twenty ninth teen so what help is there of safeguarding transparent and democratic governance in guatemala joining us from guatemala to discuss this is al jazeera reporter david mercer and cows that we have. he has a human rights lawyer and director of the international commission of jurists office for central america and in guatemala city we have you respond he is a journalist and political analyst who works with the civil society group. welcome
4:24 am
to the stream gentlemen so good to have you here i want to start on my laptop with just one of the thousands of protesters who've been out on the streets in guatemala this is brenda she writes i will continue protesting in the streets against the actions of this government to expel seasick because this corrupt system has even stolen our fear but not our faith and a possible future with justice now. it is not every day that you see thousands of people take to the streets in support of a un backed agency but i want to give our audience a little taste into why that might be to take a look at this from on my laptop here this is public support for institutions and guatemala this is a study that will spill east earlier this year conducted in two thousand and seventeen and it shows support for seasick is higher than support for the media public ministry the government congress and political parties help us understand
4:25 am
give us some context for why seasick is so important to people. well thankfully one of the reasons why there is widespread support for the work of seasickness because it's been one of the most effective tools in prosecuting criminal networks outlawing hope of to justice is brenda and her. and. eliminate. them. the scene over the years i'm positive there is no means only because your connection is breaking up a little bit so we're going to come back to you because i like what you were saying where you are taking us but david you've been out there with the protesters on the streets talk to them what are they been telling you. well that's what i think that survey says it all right there the public confidence in any kind of government institution is incredibly low in the country. and people see that really as lisa
4:26 am
saying that the only effective organ is being able to prosecute to investigate and prosecute some of these alleged crimes or crimes successfully has been this outside group. and it's and it's proven there are a couple of cases i believe that there's the ski sentences that are going to be handed down over the next couple of days a couple of big cases involving public a social security health systems as well as. a magic elixir that was developed in order to clean one of the big lakes here in guatemala and those are both being taken under by sea sick so this is an organization or an organization that's been working for the past twelve twelve years probably here and what a lot and they have won the confidence of a lot of people and a lot of it just comes back to what happened back in two thousand and fifteen with taking down or helping to take down former president and vice president something
4:27 am
that just hasn't been seen in guatemala before and that certainly won a lot of public accolades and won them a lot of support from the public i want to share some of that support protesters who gathered in the. comments of what they said of why they were out there. we are demanding the resignation of the president because he does not know how to govern the only thing that he is doing is being manipulated by the corrupt we are tired we are poor in guatemala we have high levels of mountains christian education is going down a lot of mullah has a lot of good things to give book around us is denying us that i was one of the better this is not. as you put. it up all you got to put is i mean if he was a good politician he would support the fight against corruption. and remove those who are corrupt in the government but he's done the opposite. after talking about
4:28 am
a fight against corruption saying that he was not a thief or corrupt. he did the exact opposite. he hooked up with the corrupt to form his government but he is the seventh so ramon you heard what he was saying there you hear that support there but i want to share this tweet from betty on twitter she says she said is the cancer of our country where a sovereign state and should be treated as such you can't fight corruption with corruption then in anything the un touches ends up corrupt especially when absolute power is given to an entity without oversight and accountability so help explain this clearly there are two sides to this where do you fall when. i think. that you should. and. that reason so three is. peace. well the real problem is if i against corruption and if i were.
4:29 am
i think of the slogan the punic. so on one side i don't in general fight. that all the is the being stuck all over the right. option. of course on the other side the government has a lot of campaigns and interest for me three on something. first of all this order they need to be absolute. they want to bring those to the bank. so they need to be nowadays is not. we have to live within. secondly. doing it can be don't.
4:30 am
fight it but the government. is in we will win so they are talking about these pretty soon and finally is going to bring us back to the fight of community feel against and become useless so they have a feeling that they will call back to seek all a force which is the future speed more than the fifty percent of the village when all of us are coming loose that is what they are trying to say and that's the reason why the later need to learn from the topic. i hear what you're saying david go ahead i was going to say and i think this is what some of the root of the problem here is in my perspective is that you've got in some ways you've got actors from the extreme rights who are playing off against well actions actors against the
4:31 am
extreme left but it's almost it's been it's been something that i've noticed and what i'm all of that it seems in some ways like the country is trapped in the times of of of the cold war still and it's caught on as the communists who are against the military and you know democracy came to guatemala quite a long time ago the peace accords were signed back in one nine hundred ninety six. and in some ways they got to you know the left wing they sort of morphed into a lot of the n.g.o.s and some of the public ministries and and and and the army morphed into the government and these two sides of being sort of battling it out for years and years and years since then and i think that there is this use of the term sovereignty which is used to you know paint seasick with this with this brush saying that these are foreigners these are foreigners who are interfering with our country and at the same time so many guatemalans who i've spoken to say we want to miles have shown that we're incapable of eliminating corruption from the very core
4:32 am
of our country and we're not able to run our country in a way where it doesn't hemorrhage migrants you know where these huge flows of migrants who are heading to the united states and part of this is a large part of this is due to corruption and it's very rotten to the very core of what i'm all and so in some people's perspectives the only way of clearing this is with a foreign entity that doesn't have any connections to the country but of course. some people from the extreme right they played this off as being a sovereign cartons that nobody should be telling us what they should and what they shouldn't do and i think that the majority. the populous population is sort of trapped in the middle of these two actors so keeping that in mind those two sides that you laid out for us i want to share this context of your jose's and what he says campaigns against you sick falsely state that so you say it is foreign intervention an attack on sovereignty the truth is that you say it was a guatemalan idea for which the u.n.
4:33 am
support was then requested it was an approved by guatemala's congress and became guatemalan law so with that said even still president perilous and his government defended the decision to not renew see six men date when it comes time and to block the head of seizing. from coming into the country have a listen to the president and a member of government on why. i reaffirm that the decisions are not renewed see six mandates. of a new commission will not affect nor put at risk of corruption cases in guatemala. this statement is in response to speculation from national and international actors who have claims that there is no alleged obstruction of justice this is being completely rejected here. it is in your last
4:34 am
guest mr even velazquez has put pressure on congress for reforms to the constitution of the republic and to change laws in the country seasick has sought to change laws and called on heads in congress to influence decisions and state bodies i read and if. so would you be as you heard what they both had to say there the president being one of them is this an instance of guatemala relinquishing its sovereignty. you know over forty from the government here. he. says. he couldn't even answer that you know he. lived through it but i think what he's trying to do with. building an
4:35 am
airport that's. really part of yeah especially in the street. she. would. sort of break up the product of operating what i'm. used to right. after the beginning of. a country not hundreds or. more democratic more. or even today and our apologies for the connection there coming to us from guatemala city and the connections are a little bit choppy there but we could make out what you were saying you said that you believe that this is been overstated this idea of sovereignty being willing question i want to share a comment though from an author of the piece who talks about this this is the headline out sums it up for us she says five ways the guatemalan government is trying to dismantle c segued and it she says one of those way by dismantling the
4:36 am
police force were surprising ways that you may not know about here is what he meant and because had to say. the police department place a crucial role in the fight against corruption executed arrest hope with the investigations prosecutors earlier this year the government fired the police chief and many of the high ranking officers in the apartment. around investigators to different areas and even relocated forty of the police officers that have been assigned there regularly to see when the police department with all of these changes in the leadership is the direct impact in the fight against corruption because it handicaps the manpower to carry out. so she seems to give us just one way that corruption and a government that is accused of dealing in corruption affects people in their everyday lives here's another this is one on twitter who says corruption affects the daily lives in an unexpected awaits in this unjust an unequal country
4:37 am
non-existent or deficient public services like education health transportation and roads middle class citizens must spend money and order to substitute them with private services and that's just a small list there david how is this affecting people that you talk to in their everyday lives. yes i mean it's corruption is a massive problem here and just before i get on to that i just wanted to mention one thing there had been an interview that been done with the head. of the special prosecutor's office against impunity in water mall called the f.e.c. i and they're the ones who work hand in hand with the c.c. aig but they're on their on the government side their government entity and the head of that office francisco sandoval he said recently that he he was afraid that if seasick left that one wall would go back what all the rest to where they were before see six arrival which means higher rates of crime which means more
4:38 am
inequality mitch means more poverty which means more impunity. i don't arrest rate of something like and zero percent on violent crimes and so it very man who's in charge of prosecuting corruption cases for the what all the government is saying seasick please don't go so i thought that was something that was important to point out there and yet from from the reporting that i do across the country. there is as very interesting actually you know what all is a very polarized country and perhaps it finds itself more polarized today than it has for many years and i tend to find that tends to be the people who are poor the people who would like to have some of those government services that were mentioned in that tweet that people who are lacking in you know public education the people who don't have access to health care and the people who are really struggling these are the same people who are thinking about making that expensive trip expensive a dangerous trip to the united states illegally these are the people who really are
4:39 am
in support of the work that cizik is doing they're hoping that the guatemalan guatemala has a possibility to change and be a more inclusive society in represent their interests so really and then i think when you get around people maybe who have a little bit more more money and they're you know they already pay for all these private. services then they're not potentially so these people aren't as concerned with the work that's that's read a little bit of bite back shall we say but certainly travelling around the country seen the myriad of problems that. child malnutrition and i did which were just there to you know high rates of violence violence against women violence children poverty inequality food security the list goes on and on and on and on and at the root of it all is corruption so there's certainly a lot of people who want to get at that issue the question is how do you do it and that's what we're debating right here right now and clearly so many of our
4:40 am
commentaries on twitter say how you do it is by allowing to stay and to stay even past their mandate this is asked here on twitter who says he said we'll work normally and till september twenty ninth but outside from guatemala i think he won't return to guatemala remember he is being blocked from returning but he will designate another person to lead. although he will go on being the leader from washington so this is one idea of what may happen that i'm on how do you see this playing out who will back down for the government or seasick. well i think it also depends who the image visuals from the what the modern people because as we saw last week they're the most visual. couple of moral. dimension these against equipment. we a lot of people don't feel that we are sent. him. because he's white or he says that's on them. so i guess density. has to pull.
4:41 am
in order to be able to who moves the government up big or and who when we were before clinton and. what. depended on huge part of that. in the national news did also. complied with the mandate because we see that the attorney general is not reacting and she should have already started an investigation against the president and the president should be in jail right now so it depends on what to do shoes do and he's also been most traits that their national if you will not do anything in order to fight corruption. is not to the point. i think i'd just like to say that you know back in
4:42 am
two thousand and fifteen jury the massive protests the street demonstrations that there were which eventually led to the downfall the street demonstrators were sort of working together which it clearly. from the east as well you know i know that they were really instrumental in bringing those street demonstrations together and there was fifty sixty thousand people down at the plaza the central plaza what i call a city every second weekend there was a huge number of people from what i've seen over the past couple of weeks although there this is a very critical moment in guatemala history i didn't see the same number of people coming out into the street now i don't know if it's corruption has well i'll tell you actually a few people who i've spoken to people who i would have expected to have been proceed they told me that they weren't they told me that. illegal campaign financing whether jew morale is guilty of that or not i don't know but they said this is something that's always been done and what a lot of the you know it's
4:43 am
a small amount of money it's not something that affects their pocketbooks particularly and so they don't have a particular fight with that back in the time of of but it's really now the former president who was rufe from power now he had stolen you know allegedly stolen millions of dollars out of the customs houses this affected people's pocketbooks directly and i think that where you got a lot more people out i don't see that popular support for seasick right now i just don't see it coming down onto the people coming onto the streets right now and i think the institutions are going to be hard pressed to try to fight against some of the moves that you can be making without having the public support so a very good time and that as the david spiegel dismiss speaking to more or less i just want to share with our audience because this is breaking right now of course the u.n. general assembly is going on for take a look at my screen here president jimmy morales is speaking today right now as we speak here's one tweet about what he is saying and schedule to say. is indicating
4:44 am

on the un security council the latest of which was in twenty six to twenty seventeen. these values are also the driving force behind egypt's active contribution to u.n. peacekeeping operations making egypt the words seventh largest troop contributing countries. yeah that was such an unshakable faith in the values and role of the united nations. can be fully candid and recognizing that there is a flaw in the international system. negatively affects its performance and costs a shadow over its credibility in the eyes of many people particularly in the arab and african region. and i think egypt is at the heart of books ok. how can we blame an arab questions the credibility of the united nations and the

questions as egypt has been a group of seventy seven in china. a group that constitutes the majority of the population of this planet and the us has the greatest interest in hansen the role of the united nations the developing countries can ill afford to exist in an international order which is not governed by law. laws and lofty principles upon which the united nations was found or one that can be subject to polarization or attempts by some to dominate and impose their will on the members of the international community. let me sum up egypt's vision in three d. principles to which we have to renew our commitment and three cause as to which we must accord priority for the united nations to regain its effectiveness and role. the first such is that there can be no way forward towards actually having an
