Since his inauguration in 2021, Joe Biden and his administration have been trying to bully Guatemalan president Alejandro Giammattei – who’s a conservative – into running his country the way Biden and his cronies want. As an example, the administration did not like the actions that Guatemala’s Attorney General Maria Consuelo Porras was taking against institutional corruption, and when it came time for Porras to be reappointed Giammattei “received calls, threats and a visit from the ambassador of a ‘foreign power’ asking him not to re-appoint Porras” – and that foreign power was the United States. Giammattei did anyway, and the State Department refused to allow her to enter the United States for the Summit of the Americas, claiming that she was “involved in significant corruption.” (Sound familiar?) So, Giammattei refused to attend the summit, a slight Biden undoubtedly remembers.
Now Giammattei’s successor is ready to take office, and the Guatemalan Congress is preparing to elect a Speaker of the House. The Biden administration has a strong and specific opinion on who that Speaker should be – and that someone shares Biden’s leftist ideology. To ensure that their chosen candidate wins election, according to Congresswoman-elect Sandra Jovel says that U.S. Embassy personnel are intimidating current and elected members of the Guatemalan Congress and threatening them with “visa removals, business blockades, and other sanctions” if they don’t vote for the chosen candidate.
Current and elected members of the Guatemalan Congress have reported that they have been intimidated and are currently being preassured by US Embassy personnel with visa removals, business blockades and other sanctions if they do not vote to elect a specific candidate as Speaker of the House. They have gone as far as using an employee of UN-Women to communicate that the US knows where they and their families live.
Jovel made the same announcement to the press in Guatemala.

Journalist Sara Carter then posted that she’d confirmed that this was happening.
It’s interesting that Jovel says “they have gone as far as using an employee of UN-Women to communicate that the US knows where they and their families live,” given that Attorney General Porras has been working to dismantle institutional corruption involving the UN. From a May, 2022 Reuters article:
After the 68-year-old lawyer fired the former head of the Guatemalan Special Prosecutor’s Office Against Impunity (FECI) last year, claims that Porras was obstructing investigations related to Giammattei grew…
