La declaración del Presidente Álvaro Colom de que "todo el mundo en el Tribunal Constitucional" tiene una relación con alguien le llega al corazón de las crisis políticas en todo el mundo. 

President Alvaro Colom’s declaration that “everyone in the constitutional court” has a relationship with someone strikes at the heart of political crises the world over. Lobbyists, benefactors, companies, private individuals, the general public, the politician’s life is spent negotiating with some or all of these groups often at the same time.

In the recent vice-presidential debate, the five candidates were asked about a number of problems facing Guatemala. On the issue of security, all candidates expressed their wish for outside help but a Guatemalan solution to its problems. Chile, Costa Rica and Mexico were offered as examples of how this could be done.

Election days are always exciting, no one knows what will happen and there are always stories. As journalists, you have to be prepared for anything to happen and it is a great time to get interviews with candidates. There is a lot of standing around and waiting and people get nervous, sometimes people just need to talk to someone else.

On Thursday morning, we will find out if Sandra Torres will be allowed to run for the Guatemala presidency.

The Guatemalan election was thrown into chaos on Monday night, as the Constitutional Court rejected Sandra Torres’s bid for inscription, leaving UNE without its presidential candidate.

Guatemala woke up still digesting Monday night's news that Sandra Torres was unable to run for president. With just over a month to go, the way seems clear for Otto Perez Molina and his Partido Patriota to be victorious in September 11's elections. Perhaps he will become the first president to win 50% of the vote and avoid a run-off election in November.

Monday night sees the Association of CEOs of Guatemala host their presidential debate at the National Theatre. Join us on Vozz for what is likely to be a fascinating hour as we live blog proceedings.
