Consuelo Porras concludes her tenure as Guatemala’s Attorney General, leaving behind an eight-year administration that, according to her critics, was marked by the constant use of intimidation to criminalize prominent figures across various sectors—actions that earned her sanctions from 40 foreign governments for obstructing the fight against corruption in the Central American nation.
Analysts say that the primary challenge facing the country once Porras steps down is restoring the independence and credibility of the Public Prosecutor's Office.
Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo appointed attorney Gabriel Estuardo García Luna on Tuesday as the new Attorney General for a four-year term, replacing Porras, whose tenure concludes on May 17. The official had attempted to run for the position for a third time.
