Guatemalans declare ‘I don’t have a president’ after current president refuses to give up power

Protesters use #YoNoTengoPresidente to pressure President Otto Perez Molina to step down.

After four months of protests, activists in Guatemala are declaring “I don’t have a president”. The viral hashtag followed President Otto Perez Molina’s most recent denial of fraud and corruption charges and his continued refusal to step down in a speech on Sunday. 

 

Protesters gathered Sunday afternoon, before his scheduled speech, calling for an indefinite vigil until the president resigns.
