GUATEMALA’s president-elect Bernardo Arevalo called for an end to the judicial persecution against his social democratic Semilla party on Monday.
Semilla has faced suspension of its legal status by Guatemala’s Registry of Citizens.
But last week the judgement was suspended by the courts until at least October 31.
