Elections and No Democracy in Guatemala Archives
In this archive, find articles and reports published every four years, or so, critiquing the charade of electoral democracy that keeps in power military-backed, repressive and corrupt “open for global business” regimes that maintain full military, diplomatic and economic relations with the U.S.-led “international community” (Canada, World Bank, IMF, global banks, investors and companies). Many of these articles were written by former colleague Annie Bird (annie@rightsandecology.org).
