Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo visited Honduran President Xiomara Castro ahead of the São Paulo Forum in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, from June 27 to 29, 2024. According to Ricardo Mendez, president of the Foundation against Terrorism, this meeting could negatively impact Arévalo’s approval with constituents. Guatemala is a predominantly conservative country, and its citizens might better understand Arévalo’s associations with the region’s communist regimes and dictatorships.
Mendez also contends that, as long as the São Paulo Forum and its representatives maintain power across the region, organized crime and drug trafficking will proliferate. He explains that these regimes rely on disorder and weak institutions to implement their agendas and consolidate power.
